Florence: David Tour with Michelangelo, Donatello & 48h Pass

The Accademia Gallery was established in 1784 to house prestigious Renaissance works. In 1873, it became the home for Michelangelo’s David to protect it from the elements. The location is symbolic, as the gallery sits on the square where a young Michelangelo first studied sculpting. During your 1-hour guided tour, you will also discover Michelangelo’s unfinished "Slaves". These powerful figures appear to be struggling to escape the raw marble, offering a rare glimpse into the artist's philosophy of liberating the figure trapped within the stone. To enrich your visit, this ticket includes a 48-hour pass to the Bargello National Museum. While the Accademia focuses on the marble David, the Bargello allows you to explore the works of Donatello and Verrocchio independently. Housed in an ancient fortress, the Bargello features Donatello’s famous bronze David. This pass offers flexibility to visit at your own pace over two days, providing a full journey through Renaissance innovation.
