My absolute favorite stop of my trip. Even though I have been before David still brings me to tears. Aside from David the museum has so many incredible pieces that are truly an honor in person. A trip to Florence is not complete without visiting la Galleria dell'Accademia.

Our visit to see David was great! A must see when in Florence he is a beautiful piece of art 😊 Made so much easier when we mucked up the collection of our tickets, instead going straight to the Accademia. While running back to the pick up location we were intercepted by someone bringing them to us as they had realized what we had done! Very grateful and great customer service .. thank you 😊

We were led by a guide straight to the entrance and went right in with our tickets. The museum itself was fantastic, especially The David.
