Accademia Gallery: Michelangelo's David and High Renaissance Art
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
People from all over the world come to Florence to see him — David. This iconic statue, sculpted by Michelangelo, is widely regarded as one of the most celebrated works of art in history. Towering at over five meters tall, David represents the pinnacle of Renaissance sculpture, capturing both the idealized beauty of the human form and the intense psychological tension of the biblical hero before battle. More than just a statue, David has become a universal symbol of strength, youthful courage, and the enduring power of human creativity.
As you walk through the halls of the museum, you’ll also discover the history behind Michelangelo’s Slaves — unfinished sculptures originally intended to adorn the tomb of Pope Julius II. In addition, take time to admire masterpieces by Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Giambologna, and explore the fascinating Museum of Musical Instruments!

1.00When we went to pick up the tickets at the meeting point, they told us that because it was a holiday, they couldn't offer the guided tour in Spanish. When we went to the museum after requesting a refund, we were able to enter for free because it was a holiday. This information was not available when the reservation was made.

5.00Florence tours were great, easy to find the meeting point, which was close to the gallery. We then proceeded to the entry line and were inside the gallery soon after. Seeing the David and all other artwork was amazing. Absolutely worth visiting.
Not what we paid for

5.00Our Accademia Gallery tour was an incredible experience, and we can’t say enough good things about The Italy Pass Store and our guide, Fatima. From start to finish, everything was organized and seamless. Fatima was amazing—warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. She made sure everyone in our group was comfortable, answered every question with patience, and even adjusted the pace so we could take everything in without feeling rushed. Her passion for art and history really brought the museum to life. Seeing Michelangelo’s David was unforgettable, but having Fatima’s insights and storytelling made it even more special. She went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of the experience. We highly recommend booking through Viator and The Italy Pass Store. It was a smooth, professional, and enjoyable experience from start to finish—and Fatima was the highlight of it all.
