Full description

The Accademia Gallery is small, but it attracts some of the longest queues in Florence because of one work: Michelangelo’s David, carved from a single block of marble in the early 1500s. Booking a timed entry takes the uncertainty out of the visit.

With this ticket you enter at your reserved time and use an app-based audio guide on your own phone. It covers the David, Michelangelo’s unfinished Prisoners that line the approach, and highlights of the gallery’s paintings and musical instrument collection.
