Booking tickets on Ctrip for two people was over a hundred yuan more than the official website, but the official website sold out the time slot we needed, while Ctrip was still able to book, which was quite good. Booking in advance and arriving on time to skip the line and scan the QR code to enter was very convenient. The original David was much larger than I expected and much more refined than the replica next to the Palazzo Vecchio. It's well worth a visit.

Although they are more expensive, these are safe and guaranteed tickets which can be bought on dates when the official tickets are sold out, especially closer to your visit date. We received the online tickets a day before our entry. Entrance was crowded but the staff are helpful to guide you to your designated ticket queue line. Inside the galleria was mildly crowded. The Michelangelo David statue was magnificent and there is ample space for you to admire and take pictures. Overall I would recommend this place.

I came to see David! Wish fulfilled! It is very convenient to exchange tickets, just in the small pavilion opposite the intersection. What needs attention here is the time. I chose the 11:00 to 13:00 time slot. I thought that as long as I arrived during this time period, I could enter. However, when I arrived at 11:30, I was told that I was late. Fortunately, I entered through the fast track. I will have to see it clearly next time. In addition, you must bring your passport to borrow the guide machine! ! ! Cash is useless!

【Florence Academy of Fine Arts】 【Florence National Academy of Fine Arts】was founded in 1339. It is the world's first academy of fine arts and the world's top art institution. The treasure of the academy's art gallery is Michelangelo's David. The statue is 3.96 meters tall, 5.5 meters tall including the base, and weighs 5.5 tons. It was created between 1501 and 1504. With beautiful and lifelike lines and clear blood vessel lines, Michelangelo's ingenious workmanship shows the beauty of David's body vividly and deeply. After the statue was completed, it stood in front of the Palazzo Vecchio in Piazza della Signoria. However, during a riot in the square, David's left arm was broken. In order to avoid repeating the same mistake, the restored statue of David was moved here in 1873. The museum houses works by Tuscan painters of the Venetian School from the 14th to the 18th century, including Giorgione, Giovanni, and Bellini. In addition, it also houses masterpieces of Italian art, such as Titian's unfinished portrait of the Pietà. Tickets: 12.5 euros Time: 8:15-18:50 Location: Via Ricasoli, 58/60, 50129 Firenze FI, Italy Public transportation: Take the bus to Piazza Di San Marco Station, get off and walk about 50 meters south along Via Ricasoli Street to arrive

It's open from Tuesday to Sunday from 8:15 to 18:50 (stop selling tickets 15 minutes in advance); it's closed for Christmas and New Year's Day on Monday, with tickets of 6.5 Euros. There's no student discount. The queue is really much better, but it's worth waiting for two hours to see David. Tips - "1 around the Italian ice cream shop is good, 2 around the shop can browse, and friends take turns queuing, shop leather products are very cheap, and so on is really desperate. The Florence Academy of Fine Arts is the first professional academy of Fine Arts in Europe. The treasure of the town store between the academies is Michelangelo's real David, as well as Michelangelo's other unfinished works "Slave Statue", "Sacred Mother and Son Statue". Of course, the authentic works of many other artists are also here. You can spend 2 to 3 hours visiting, instead of just looking at David and then leaving. Of course, if you are a donkey friend with limited time and money, you can go to the Municipal Square to see a copy of David, which seems to be more popular than the Academy Gallery.

Academy Museum of Art - Having the privilege of witnessing Michelangelo's "statue of David" at close range, the light sculpture itself has 5.16 meters. Michelangelo depicts every feature of the male through "David" and reaches the highest level of sculpture art. This is the treasure of the Town Gallery of the Art Museum.

To say this museum houses some of the best art in the world would be an understatement. I was so fortunate to see David by Michelangelo-it’s the only reason I went. I explored the entire museum which took much more than an afternoon. Overall, 10/10!

My visit to the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence was an unforgettable experience. The highlight, of course, was Michelangelo's David, a masterpiece that truly leaves you in awe when you see it up close. The level of detail in the sculpture is breathtaking, from the lifelike muscles to the expression of quiet confidence on David's face. The gallery itself was well-organized, and the staff was helpful. I highly recommend this visit to anyone passionate about art and history. David alone is worth the trip, but the museum’s other works provide a rich context for the artistic culture of FlorenceBusiness Hours:815am-620pmAddress:Via Ricasoli, 58/60, 50129 Firenze FI, Itali
