Itinerary
You will be collected from your centrally-located hotel by your guide and escorted directly to the Accademia, one of Florence’s top museums.
The museum hosts many incredible artistic gems, the best-known being Michelangelo’s “David”. Located in the main gallery this vast statue towers above the onlookers. Take time to walk around it and marvel at Michelangelo’s genius from every perspective. It is a truly spectacular work of art; carved from a single block of Carrara marble it was sculpted when Michelangelo was in his early twenties. At 17 feet (5.17 metres) it depicts David, the biblical hero who slew the giant Goliath. Unveiled in 1504 this extraordinary statue came to symbolize the defense of civil liberties embodied by the Florentine Republic. The Accademia is also home to a number of unfinished sculptures by Michelangelo as well as works by Botticelli, Paolo Uccello and Andrea del Sarto, amongst others. We’re sure you’ll love this tour of the Accademia and learn captivating facts and anecdotes from your expert guide who will make your visit to this wonderful museum informative and unforgettable.

About Florence
Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, gathers masterpieces of art and architecture into a compact city of stone streets beside the Arno.
The Duomo, with Brunelleschi's great red-brick dome, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery's gilded doors, marks the centre of town. A few streets away, Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio face a loggia full of sculpture, and the Uffizi Gallery holds Botticelli, Leonardo and Raphael. Michelangelo's David stands in the Galleria dell'Accademia.
