See Michelangelo’s David with a guide at the Accademia. Use your 48h pass to explore the Bargello Museum independently to find Donatello and Verrocchio’s Davids. The complete Renaissance experience!

Begin your experience at the Galleria dell’Accademia, where you will bypass the long queues with reserved entry. Under the vaulted "Tribuna," meet the giant: Michelangelo’s David.

Learn about the secrets of the "Giant" marble block and how a 26-year-old artist achieved what others thought impossible. Discover why David became the ultimate symbol of Florentine liberty against tyranny.

While Michelangelo’s David represents the pinnacle of the High Renaissance, the story of the Biblical hero in Florence started much earlier. Your guide will provide the historical context you need to compare this marble titan with its predecessors.

At the conclusion of your guided session, receive a 48-hour combined ticket. This allows you to visit the Bargello National Museum independently at any time over the next two days.

At the Bargello, find Donatello’s Bronze David, the first free-standing nude statue since antiquity—enigmatic, youthful, and revolutionary. See Donatello’s Marble David, an earlier, more Gothic version of the hero. Admire Verrocchio’s David, a refined, confident bronze masterpiece by the teacher of Leonardo da Vinci.
