BE THE FIRST: Early Bird Florence Walking Tour & Accademia Gallery (David)

Hoogtepunten

Inbegrepen

Route

1. Start the day with visiting one of the most noteworthy museums of Florence – the Accademia Gallery, home to the original colossal statue of David by Michelangelo. Take a look at the David and you will understand why Giorgio Vasari said “Anyone who has seen Michelangelo’s David has no need to see anything else….” Hear the stories about the tormented genius and learn how much struggle he endured to bring the damaged block of marble to life – a seemingly impossible task that made him immortal. Take a small break to get a cup of coffee or buy a souvenir in Accademia’s giftshop and continue your experience with a walking tour in the heart of Florence.

About Florence

Florence, de wieg van de Renaissance, bundelt meesterwerken van kunst en architectuur in een compacte stad van stenen straten langs de Arno.

De Duomo, met Brunelleschi's enorme rode koepel, Giotto's klokkentoren en de vergulde deuren van het Baptisterium, markeert het centrum van de stad. Een paar straten verder kijken de Piazza della Signoria en het Palazzo Vecchio uit op een loggia vol beelden, en in de Uffizi hangen Botticelli, Leonardo en Rafaël. Michelangelo's David staat in de Galleria dell'Accademia.

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