The experience

A timed-entry ticket straight to Michelangelo’s 5.17-metre marble giant, no ticket-office queue.

A skip-the-line, timed-entry ticket to the Galleria dell’Accademia, guaranteeing a reserved slot to see Michelangelo’s David without joining the ticket-office queue that can run to several hours in high season.

The gallery also holds Michelangelo’s unfinished Prisoners, straining to escape their marble blocks, and a collection of Renaissance panel paintings and historic musical instruments beyond the David itself.
