Destinations

Second on the 'Florence boxes to tick' list, after the Uffizi, is Michelangelo's David, housed in the Galleria dell'Accademia. There is a copy of the statue standing in Piazza della Signoria, but the boy himself is a walk away, and attracts visitors at the same sort of level as the Uffizi does.

All of our tickets and guided tours are fully inclusive, covering all exhibitions that may be on at the time of your visit, and are all 'skip the line' tickets; we regularly arrange quantities of pre-booked tickets at particularly busy times in order to offer reserved entrance during high season. We have some Accademia visitor information on this page, and some detail about rules and regulations here.

Please note that the following are currently closed to the public: the Sala del Colosso, the museum of Musical Instruments and the side rooms of the Byzantine.


The Accademia & David

Both the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia (Michelangelo's David) are closed on Mondays. Other than that they are open Tuesday to Sunday from morning to evening (actual times will vary by day and season). Opinions vary, and it very much depends on your appetite for Renaissance art, but we wouldn't necessarily recommend 'doing' both galleries in one day. Yes, it can be done, but the Uffizi is pretty big and there is an awful lot to see. If you have time, an option is to visit the Accademia as part of a longer guided tour of Florence - see what's available on this page.

Group bookings: Groups of up to 5 people plus a guide are permitted although they must make use of earphones.

Included with most tickets is an e-book guide, written by two prominent Italian Art Historians, and available to download as epub (for iPad and iPhone, Android, and many ebook readers), mobi (for Kindle) and PDF for pretty much everything else.

The buttons below will give greater detail on the tickets and tours we offer throughout the year, and do use our calendar above to check availability!

  • Pricing & ticket types

    Accademia, payment and pricing.

    At all times we will refer to the full price of your ticket(s), and you will never be charged more than this ... just please be aware that the total charge includes booking fee. You will arrive with a paid-in-full voucher.

    Are there any types of reduced tickets for the Accademia in Florence?

    1. 'Full price' tickets are for (i) all non-European citizens aged 18 or over and (ii) for European citizens aged 26 and upwards. See below for a list of countries considered as being European.

    2. 'Reduced' tickets are available to European citizens aged between 18 and 25. Proof of ID (usually a passport) will be required. Please note that a student visa is not acceptable as ID.

    3. 'Complimentary' tickets are available to (i) anyone under the age of 18. Tickitaly are still charged by the authorities to make this kind of reservation, hence the small charge.

    4. Children under the age of six pay nothing - neither do they have to reserve as such - please do specify the number of children in your group that are under this age, however.

    5. Please don't purchase any reduced tickets unless you can show a valid ID from one of the European countries listed below. Please note that a student visa is not sufficient ID. If you cannot show valid ID on the day of your visit then you will be charged full price and be required to pay the difference on the spot.

    Great experience. Didn't realized the extent of the collection prior to going! David was, of course the highlight!

    The visit was excellent, with one exception. There was considerable confusion about where the queue started and stopped, as the museum did not rope off the lane for the particular entry time we were assigned. This resulted in many people cutting the queue and delayed entry. This is not the fault of Tickitaly, which is why they deserve a 5-star rating.

    Was very happy with the experience. Not too crowded and other visitors were generally polite and respectful. Exhibits were amazing, even in addition to The David.
