We arrived at the La Academia 15 minutes early. There was a long line of people waiting. We were whisked in immediately. Tickets really did get us front of the line. Seeing David is just incredible! An experience I will not forget.

Excellent communication from the guide and very friendly. The visit was fabulous and because of the low season we were able to be very close to most of the works. An excellent experience and a very good option for those who plan to visit the museum.View original review in Spanish

The visit to the Accademia was pretty amazing, of course the David statue was mind-blowingly stunning, but we also loved r erythingveise we saw there including the musical instruments section. As huge music lovers that was special for us (myself and my partner) It was really easy for us going on, after pre-booking with the app. Very smooth process going in to the galleryMarialuisa

The ticketeting experience was user friendly and with so many people excited to see the Academia in Florence, it is very helpful to have pre-booked tickets and tour. I particularly like having the reminders texted to me. One recommendation is to have the option to add the ticket to the Apple wallet BEFORE arriving. I chose not to print my ticket and my connection was not very strong so it was a little hassle to get the voucher for the ticket. Of course your communication was good. However I am traveling and managing many sets of tickets and multiple tours in different cities.Milan

It was nice not having to wait in a long line, and it was very easy picking up the tickets. The only thing was that I thought I was getting a headset for the gallery, but did not. Maybe I ordered the wrong ticket? Otherwise, well worth the trip to the museum!
Enter the Accademia Gallery and find yourself in the heart of Renaissance brilliance. Located between two ancient monasteries, the gallery immerses you immediately in art and history. Begin in the Hall of the Colossus, where Giambologna’s marble sculpture Rape of the Sabines takes center stage, surrounded by paintings from masters like Botticelli, Paolo Uccello, and Perugino. Walk onward to the Hall of the Prisoners, a room that holds four of Michelangelo's captivating unfinished sculptures—Atlas, Bearded Slave, Awakening Slave, and Young Slave—each revealing traces of the artist’s vision, forever frozen in stone.
Moving through the gallery, you’ll encounter the Tribune, where Michelangelo’s David stands in all his glory under a radiant skylight. This legendary sculpture, with its powerful and meticulous detail, captivates every viewer, transforming even the most casual visitor into an admirer. Nearby, the Museum of Musical Instruments offers another dimension of history, showcasing over 50 extraordinary pieces from the Grand Ducal Collection. Here, you’ll see creations like a harpsichord by Bartolomeo Cristofori, credited as the inventor of the piano, and a tenor viola crafted by the renowned Antonio Stradivari.
