I love the whole experience and doing the tour with otehr people. It was amazing to finally see Michealangelo's Obra Maestra, DAVID. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and has sense of humor which I think is a very important skill to embody so the participants will have fun at the same time.

You cannot go to Florence and not see David! The tour guide arranged our entry quickly, bringing us from the meeting point, a short walk from the Accademia, straight into the entrance. The quick entry was worth the price, this visit isn't cheap though!! There are some wonderful pieces here, so take your time to explore, rather than head straight for David. And when you turn into the gallery to see him, perfectly positioned in great natural light, it does take your breath away. Also, walking all around him to get the full effect, you will admire Michelangelo's attention to detail, something I never fully appreciated from photos previously. Thus can be a short visit, but definitely worth it!!

Very easy to collect tickets. Pick up point was exactly where detailed. There was no skip the queue area that was mentioned but the museum had a very organised process for getting people in and the wait time was not long. Id recommend booking early tickets so you get the museum at a slightly quieter time before it gets busy.

We booked the Accademia Gallery Skip-the-Line Guided Tour through Headout and had a great experience. Skipping the extremely long line was worth it alone, but the tour itself exceeded expectations. Our group was small, which made it easy to follow and ask questions. The guide was incredibly informative—we learned so much about the history and artistry of the museum, especially the iconic statue of David, which was absolutely breathtaking in person. The tour lasted about an hour and covered all the key highlights of the Accademia Gallery, with just the right balance of depth and pace. Highly recommend this tour if you want a richer, more meaningful visit without the stress of waiting in line.

I visited the Academia Gallery specifically to see Michelangelo’s David, which of course was spectacular. The Gallery was also filled with beautiful treasures, both paintings and sculpture, including a beautiful fresco fragment by Giotto. My favorite room of all was the Lorenzo Bartolini’s Plaster Casts Gallery, which felt like stepping into a Renaissance painting.

The guide was knowledge and it was very interesting! My kids (13, 11, 7) and I all had a great time and learned a lot! Hardly any wait in line to get in, and didn't feel rushed in the exhibit at all. Spent a lot of time at the David and from multiple angles. Loved it! It was my first experience with a guided tour and I so glad we did it! BUT I am disappointed with the back end of things - when booking the tour it said to meet far away from the accademia and instead to meet near the uffitzi - thst didn't make sense to me, so I chatted online with someone and they confirmed the location and that we'd walk with our guide over. The day before the tour I got an email confirming that same location. When we arrived I was told we were at the wrong location and needed to hurry over to the meeting spot by the accademia. We then needed to RUN through the city to get there on time so we wouldn't miss the tour. We arrived sweaty and frazzled. The tour guide was fantastic, but the communication leading up to the tour was not good.

We visited the Uffizi Gallery late in the afternoon so it wasn't very crowded. The exhibits there are exquisite, no doubt it is one of the world's greatest collections. People with reduced mobility should be made aware, they will need to request access by lift to the top floor, as there are several magnificent flights of stairs to get there! But once you do, it's amazing! Not only the artwork, the building itself is stunning, beautifully maintained and the views out over the city are also worth seeing! Fantastic value for money too.

Also we loved the terrace on the 3rd floor and enjoyed cappuccinos with the lovely setting and view. I would not waste $$ on headphones - very limited and not too informative. Instead ask chatGPT to prepare an itinerary for you based on how long you plan to visit. Ciao!

Myself and my friend had a great tour of Academia. It was concentrated on the history of Michelangelo given it was only an hour duration but we enjoyed that and understanding this amazing artist in more detail and centring around the build of David. I recall it was Vera who was our guide in English. She was very good and could be clearly understood. Still left us the opportunity to explore the valley further after the tour.

We booked the Accademia Gallery Skip-the-Line Guided Tour through Headout and had a great experience. Skipping the extremely long line was worth it alone, but the tour itself exceeded expectations. Our group was small, which made it easy to follow and ask questions. The guide was incredibly informative—we learned so much about the history and artistry of the museum, especially the iconic statue of David, which was absolutely breathtaking in person. The tour lasted about an hour and covered all the key highlights of the Accademia Gallery, with just the right balance of depth and pace. Highly recommend this tour if you want a richer, more meaningful visit without the stress of waiting in line.

The guide was knowledge and it was very interesting! My kids (13, 11, 7) and I all had a great time and learned a lot! Hardly any wait in line to get in, and didn't feel rushed in the exhibit at all. Spent a lot of time at the David and from multiple angles. Loved it! It was my first experience with a guided tour and I so glad we did it! BUT I am disappointed with the back end of things - when booking the tour it said to meet far away from the accademia and instead to meet near the uffitzi - thst didn't make sense to me, so I chatted online with someone and they confirmed the location and that we'd walk with our guide over. The day before the tour I got an email confirming that same location. When we arrived I was told we were at the wrong location and needed to hurry over to the meeting spot by the accademia. We then needed to RUN through the city to get there on time so we wouldn't miss the tour. We arrived sweaty and frazzled. The tour guide was fantastic, but the communication leading up to the tour was not good.

You cannot go to Florence and not see David! The tour guide arranged our entry quickly, bringing us from the meeting point, a short walk from the Accademia, straight into the entrance. The quick entry was worth the price, this visit isn't cheap though!! There are some wonderful pieces here, so take your time to explore, rather than head straight for David. And when you turn into the gallery to see him, perfectly positioned in great natural light, it does take your breath away. Also, walking all around him to get the full effect, you will admire Michelangelo's attention to detail, something I never fully appreciated from photos previously. Thus can be a short visit, but definitely worth it!!

David was the main attraction we wanted to see. It was very touristy as all of Florence is & very confusing to get in by ourselves. purchasing the guided tour made it very easy as they acquired our tickets for us, led us with a group inside, and made the process simple. We did lose the group inside as it was a bit chaotic withthe amount of people at the museums first room & we roamerd around by ourselves after the security checkpoint. Well worth the price for the convenience over the non-reservation line.

Top things to do in Florence

The Accademia Gallery in Florence is a cultural haven showcasing Renaissance art, notably Michelangelo's iconic David. Its rich collection includes masterpieces, sculptures and paintings. Interestingly, it also houses a unique collection of rare musical instruments — from the private collections of various royal families in the Tuscan region. A trip to this museum provides an immersive journey into the artistic brilliance of Italy's cultural heritage.

  • During the high season, same-day tickets are often unavailable, especially for popular time slots, and ticketing queues can stretch up to 2 hours. Booking tickets online saves you time and ensures you don’t miss your preferred entry.
  • Timed entry tickets grant you access to the Accademia within a specific time slot, but you’ll still need to queue at the ticket counter before entry.
  • Skip-the-line tickets are a great way to avoid this wait. These tickets let you bypass the ticketing queue entirely and head straight to the entrance, saving significant time, especially during peak hours.
  • For an even smoother experience, hosted entry tickets are a great option. A host will meet you at the entrance, collect your ticket for you, and help you enter the gallery. Keep in mind, though, that a host is not a guide—they won’t stay with you or provide commentary. 
  • Pair hosted entry with an audio guide to explore the gallery at your own pace while listening to fascinating stories about its masterpieces.
  • Guided tours are led by experts who share captivating insights into the gallery’s history and artwork. With a guide, you’ll learn all about Michelangelo’s David and discover other treasures you might otherwise miss.
  • If you’re not a fan of crowds, a small group tour is an excellent choice. Enjoy an up-close and peaceful view of Michelangelo’s 17-foot-tall statue of David on an intimate private tour with only a handful of people.
  • If you want to make the most of your time in Florence, consider a combo ticket for the Accademia and ​Uffizi Galleries. These two museums showcase the very best of Florentine art and culture, and combo tickets allow you to visit on different days so you can explore each at your own pace.

Michelangelo's David and Brunelleschi’s Dome VIP Early Access Tour

Hall of the Colossus

The first gallery you see when you enter the museum, the real star of the show here is Giambologna's magnificent sculpture, Rape of the Sabines.

The Tribune

The Tribune’s reputation precedes it: home to Michelangelo’s David, one of the most famous sculptures to have ever been created.

The Hall of the Prisoners

This museum hall is named so after the ‘Slaves’ — four large nude sculptures created by Michelangelo, namely: Awakening Slave, Atlas, Bearded Slave, and Young Slave — housed here.

Gipsoteca Bartolini

This hall showcases a selection of the finest 19th-century plaster casts by one of the most brilliant artists of his time, Lorenzo Bartolini, and his student, Luigi Pampaloni.

Pacino's Room

This room is dedicated to Florentine Gothic and Renaissance paintings from the 14th to the 16th century. Among the masterpieces on display is the Tree of Life by Bonaguida.

Giotteschi Room

This room is a treasure trove of artworks by Giotto and his students, known as the Giotteschi. The room houses six works by Giotto, including four panels from the Stefaneschi Altarpiece, as well as the Madonna and Child Enthroned.

Orcagna's Room

This hall houses the work of four brothers: Andrea (nicknamed “Orcagna,” meaning “archangel”), Nardo, Matteo, and Jacopo di Cione. Many of their creations are altarpieces. One exceptional work is Jacopo di Cione's Coronation of the Virgin.

Museum of Musical Instruments

Playing host to the Grand Ducal Collection, the hall has about 50 ancient instruments on display that showcase the evolution of musical instruments over time.

David

David
