One-Hour with David at the Accademia Museum
Meet your guide and enter the Accademia Gallery with a fast-track priority ticket to discover Michelangelo’s original masterpiece, the David, the symbol of Renaissance splendor. Standing 5.17 meters tall and carved from a single block of Carrara marble by a young Michelangelo, the statue has dominated the gallery since 1504, representing both the biblical hero and the spirit of Florentine liberty. Admire it from every angle, then explore Michelangelo’s unfinished works, the Prigioni and San Matteo, which reveal his genius in progress.
The museum also houses an extraordinary collection of masterpieces from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance by artists such as Botticelli, Paolo Uccello, and Andrea del Sarto. Guided by an expert English-speaking guide, you’ll uncover the stories behind these treasures. Please note that, even with skip-the-line access, a compulsory security check may cause short delays before entry.
Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Seasonally Offered - This experience is available from March 1st to October 31st.
