Description

Your tour begins with skip-the-line entry to the Galleria dell'Accademia. Aside from the Uffizi Gallery, the Accademia Gallery is the most-visited museum in Florence. This means that long lines to get inside are common. Luckily, we reserve your Accademia tickets ahead of time, meaning that the only line you'll stand in is the much shorter security line. When you enter the gallery in which the iconic statue of David stands, you'll immediately notice his height, smooth surface, and famously determined expression which reflects the moments before David went into battle with Goliath in the famous biblical tale. Your guide will explain how Michelangelo skillfully carved this masterpiece from a block of Carrara marble that no other artist wanted to touch, and how the statue’s proportions appear inaccurate because David was originally intended to be placed atop Florence’s Duomo.
