Simply incredible. Awesome to see it in person. Even though I visited on a free Sunday, it wasn't too crowded and I was able to walk around all sides of it. It's also very near the entrance of the museum, which is nice.
My sceptical review goes only for the management of the museum. 32€ just ot go inside with bunch of people, imposible to get a proper seeng of the sculptures. And apart from that with the reservation ticket you need to wait around 35 min. To get in. The guys who waited in line with no ticket waited for 2,5 hours and paid 32€ just to stay inside for 1 hour. I don’t see it reasonable to pay so much for such a poor management. Regarding the piece of art, magnificent. It was an absolute pleasure to see with your own eyes the biggest creation Michelangelo.
สวย! The Galleria dell'Accademia is an essential stop in Florence! The entire visit revolves around one magnificent sculpture: Michelangelo's David. It is truly spectacular, grand, and unequivocally one of the greatest masterpieces of the Renaissance, if not the century! Seeing this iconic work in person is absolutely breathtaking and a moment you won't forget. Book your tickets well in advance!
You can hear about something for decades, see hundreds of images about it, but only in person can it truly be appreciated. Larger than life, exceptional craftsmanship, and surrounded by more beauty and history, this is the sculpture of all sculptures. Placed in a purpose-built hall for centuries in order to protect it, this place is worth the wait. Try to get fast pass tickets ahead of tome because the line can be hours long.
I absolutely loved this! Seeing Michelangelo’s David in person is an unforgettable experience. The statue is so massive, detailed, and beautiful in person. I could have stood there looking at it for hours. Photos don’t do it justice. The level of work that Michelangelo put into it is just incredible. Heads up, get skip the line tickets on Get Your Guide or Viator. Even with a tour booked directly through the museum’s website with a time slot, there was still a long line. And the line for people without tickets didn’t move a bit the whole 30 minutes I stood there, that I gave up and went and booked a skip the line ticket because the line is directly in the sun and it was giving me and many others sun stroke. If you have skip the line tickets, you go right in, just a quick stop at the security scanner and you’re inside. Totally worth it to avoid the long wait. The museum itself is kinda small but, the atmosphere really lets you appreciate the art. The gift shop is also nice and has a good selection of souvenirs. Definitely a must see in Florence
