You can decide to pay the normal price to enter Galleria dell'Accademia or you can go for more than double to avoid the lines. If you decide to wait, as we did, you would at least expect to find a clean, odorless, restroom. It was a real shame! I highly recommend the Uffizi Gallery which offers a lot more than... More

A must visit while in Florence. We bought the ticket vouchers on-line in the states before our trip. Take you voucher to the ticket office which is on the opposite side of the street.

I reviewed the Statute of David in a separate review so I'll keep this one more general. Obviously David is the focus here. There are some cool unfinished statues at the beginning that really show how much work it took to carve these. A few other interesting paintings and statues but really nothing amazing. But you have to go here... More
