Highlights

Inside, Michelangelo's David stands at the end of a corridor lined with the Prisoners — four figures still half-trapped in their marble, left unfinished. In about an hour, a licensed guide walks you from those rough blocks to the finished statue, so you see how it was made before you see what it became: a block other sculptors had rejected, carved by a twenty-six-year-old into the image Florence chose for itself. The tour ends inside the gallery, so your ticket is still good afterwards — stay for the Medici instrument collection with its Stradivari violins, and the Florentine paintings upstairs. The same reserved entry is also available with an audio guide.

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.

Top-ranked sights in Florence: Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Galleries (Gallerie degli Uffizi), Florence Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore).
