Witness the majestic David by Michelangelo
The Accademia, which started as a modest teaching institution in the 1780s, has blossomed into a sanctuary of art, synonymous with Michelangelo's iconic statue. But who enjoys wasting time in long lines? David is a masterpiece that deserves to be appreciated in exclusive priority access. With this experience, you can take advantage of a hop-on, hop-off bus with an audioguide and skip the line at the Academia Gallery. After you're done gazing at the colossal work of art, which stands a staggering 17 feet high, make your way through the corridors, where a collection of 15th-century artworks by revolutionaries such as Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, and Uccello, awaits.
