David
by Michelangelo

Via Ricasoli 58-60
Florence

The Accademia is a mecca for art lovers because it is home to Michelangelo's David. Because of that, almost any month of the year, you may stand in line outside for up two to four hours before even being admitted to the gallery. Bad weather or severe heat could discourage even the most determined traveler. Advance reservations are an absolute must to avoid this waste of your precious holiday time.

If you are planning to visit the Uffizi Galleries also, they are about 20 minutes' walk from the Accademia. If you are visiting on your own without a guide, we recommend you visit the museums on two different days to avoid "museum overload"! Also if you are arriving in Florence the same day as your visit please account for the fact that your plane/train/bus may be late.

Tickets also include the David and the mandatory extra admission charge for special exhibitions (you do not have to purchase anything else). They cost 22.00 Euro each, with the following exceptions:

  1. Children under 6 years old pay nothing and do not require a reservation.
  2. European (EEC) citizens under 18 or over 65 pay nothing for the ticket but do require a reservation. If you qualify for this exception we sincerely regret that we are not permitted to request a reservation for you unless you are with a party of paying customers. We do not have the authority to change this rule, so we are grateful for your understanding. Each EEC reservation costs 9 Euro. If you cancel it later we regret that there is no refund.

Please make a note of the dates the museum is open before continuing with your order now.

Because the museum is so vast and rich, we recommend you consider a private guided tour. This is a wonderful way to maximize the time you spend in these sometimes overwhelming artistic treasure troves. Our guides are affable Florentines who speak excellent English, French, German or Spanish and specialize in bringing the works of art to life for young and old alike.
