The Accademia Gallery is the ideal place in the city to discover not only the most famous work of art by Michelangelo, the David, but also other masterpieces of this great Florentine artist: the four Prisons, San Matteo and Palestrina’s Pietà. This exceptional concentration of Michelangelo’s works has contributed significantly to the fame of the Accademia Gallery, making it the second most visited museum in Florence after the Uffizi. Given the relative narrowness of the museum’s spaces and the large turnout, long lines of tourists waiting to enter, outside, are the order of the day.

At the chosen date and time, our host will be in Via Ricasoli 57, 50121 Firenze, next to the Carrefour Express Supermarket.
