Disappointed as we had to wait over 1 hour in a line due to work on the staircase. Online ticketholders walked right in. The gallery is really busy so don't expect to have a great view of David - and again o photos allowed.

The most relevant is the David, and there are other works like the slaves by Michelangelo that are not in the Louvre, but if you have limited time to spend in Florence, and have to choose go to Uffizi Gallery, Pitti Palace and visit the Boboli Gardens

A brilliant museum with some of the most impressive works from the Renaissance. It's very small when compared to the Uffizi or Vechio or Pitti. It is the home of "David" and thats worth the price of admission. Very hectic here and the ushers are a pain. I still managed to get a few good pics of David. Not sure... More

Most people visit this museum for one thing - to see Michelangelo's David - and don't get me wrong he is impressive and very well presented but he isn't the full story of this attraction, there is much more to it than that. First of all don't miss the display of musical instruments because they are fascinating and informative. We... More

It was super busy as we were in Florence over Easter and the queue stretched for miles. We had pre-booked tickets which I would definitely recommend as no one wants to spend hours of their holiday in a long queue. The museum itself is small which I actually preferred. The statue of David is of course the show-stopper. Its worth... More

The Accademia is great for seeing the fantastic statue of David and many paintings by early medieval artists. Apart from David, it was a bit 'samey' but worth a trip even if just to see David. Definitely buy your tickets before you go as there is a separate entrance for those with internet reservations/ tickets. We used www.tickitaly.com and they... More

This is a small museum but the main attraction is the David. It is colossal ! To think that Michelangelo could achieve such definition of the human form in marble, is unbelievable... until it is seen first hand. I couldn't resist, I snapped a picture when no one was looking.

It's one of the smaller museums. I visited right at the end of tourist season, but it was still a bit crowded. There is a small collection of unfinished marble works by Michaelangelo, but the main attraction is obviously his "David'. There is a collection of paintings and a small exhibit of student work as well.

This is my second visit and always worth a look. Very popular and a bit of a queue, you get in quicker if you precook but it is and extra 4 euros per person. We queued for about 30 mins so not too much of a wait. But once inside the artwork is amazing and the statue of David breathtaking.... More
