Accademia & Michelangelo's David Express Tour
Overview
Short on time but eager to see Michelangelo’s most famous works? This express tour makes it simple.

Then explore other Renaissance art before finishing with an up-close look at David. You'll be in and out in an hour, and best of all, you won't accidentally end up at one of the replica Davids scattered around Florence!
