Departure Point

Galleria dell'Accademia, Via Ricasoli, 58/60, 50122, Florence Italy

Departure Time

9:15 AM
Formerly a 14th-century hospital and then a fine art school, the Accademia Gallery now showcases top works of art by the likes of Botticelli, Andrea Orcagna and, most famously, Michelangelo.

Skip the long lines outside the Accademia Gallery and step straight inside with your direct-access ticket. Wander the museum at your own pace, stopping to admire Michelangelo’s unfinished San Matteo sculpture, as well as his Prigioni, where four prisoners attempt to free themselves from the confines of the marble.

Then, head over to the Gallery’s main attraction: Michelangelo’s 17-foot (5.17-meter) sculpture of David. Admire the lifelike contours of the marble figure’s muscles and veins, completed when the artist was only in his twenties.

Afterward, check out the onsite Museum of Musical Instruments, where an impressive collection of stringed instruments are exhibited. Paintings by other Renaissance greats, such as Botticelli and Filippino Lippi, are also on display for you to peruse. Depart the Accademia whenever you wish.

No need to skip the line

The contactperson who should provide the tickets was 15 min too late. There was no line at all, so I had the feeling that I paid too much for the service, which was not adequate

Dear Sirs, thank you for taking the time to write a review and after having looked into your points let us clarify that you didn’t find a long line, as the entrance to the museums is restricted to a smaller number of visitors with limited places due to the covid emergency measures. This is to respect the social distance and to avoid the crowd of people inside and outside the museum. Because of it, without the reservation made in advance you would have run the risk of not finding the place at the wished time. Our assistant is at the meeting point earlier than the starting time for doing the check in and to provide the tickets and since you didn’t give us more details about the date and time you showed up at the museum, it’s difficult for us to investigate further. The price you have paid, it's in line with the market for such kind of service including not only the tickets but the reservation made in advance and the assistance outside the reserved entrance to avoid any waste of time on site. Thank you for your understanding Best regards

Only problem was finding the tour guide outside. He wore a blue jacket not yellow as the instructions described. It was a self guided tour inside.

Dear Janet_P, many, many thanks for your feedback! We are happy to hear that you have appreciated your Skip the line: Florence Accademia Gallery tickets, a service that allows you to collect immediately the tickets you have previously booked, in front of the museum, from our multilingual assistant, ready to give you any kind of help and support. We are sorry for the inconvenience regarding the color of the jacket that our staff was wearing: the yellow jacket is an old information that we have actually changed months ago. We have asked many times Viator to update all these details but maybe the system takes some more time to make all the changes. We hope to meet you again in the future! Our best regards

It was easy to locate the vendor to exchange the voucher for entry tickets. There was no guided tour- we explored the museum on our own, but these tickets made entry super fast; walked straight to security and into museum. The normal line for tickets and to get in was winding down the whole street!
