Accademia Gallery

The Accademia Gallery is one of the best known museums in the world today. During your vacation in Florence don’t miss out on meeting one of the most famous and eclectic artists in the world: Michelangelo!

Enjoy his most famous work, the statue of David, but also I Prigioni, San Matteo and the Pietà of Palestrina. The young Michelangelo carved the statue of David in 3 years, starting from a huge block of rough marble. The result was an absolutely beautiful, imposing sculpture, the real icon of the Renaissance ideal.

It really is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to stand in front of the David. At the end of the tour you will have the possibility to stay inside the museum as long as you like.

Bargello Museum

The splendid fortified Bargello palace was the first public building of the city. It has a beautiful and austere courtyard and a high embattled tower.

It owes its name to the Bargello, meaning “master of the guards”, who had their seat here in the 16th century. You will have the chance to admire masterpieces such as the David by Donatello, the Bacchus and the Tondo Pitti by Michelangelo, Mercury by Giambologna, besides the magnificent glazed terracotta by Giovanni & Andrea della Robbia.

At the end of the guided tour you can stay inside the museum as long as you wish — don’t miss the important collection of Islamic Art, the Room of the Ivories, or the Armoury.

Palazzo Vecchio

From the time the cornerstone was laid through today, the Palazzo Vecchio has been the seat of city power and the heart of Florence, and even now it serves as city hall.

Its history goes back to 1299, when works started, after a design by Arnolfo di Cambio. It enjoyed a fabulous “Golden Age” when the Medici family transferred its residence there from Palazzo Medici.

The building, designed to house the Florentine offices and magistracies, was adapted to celebrate the enlightened Medici rulers, the unification of Tuscany, and the rule of Duke Cosimo I.

You will explore a series of splendid works of art … the marble group of the Genius of Victory by Michelangelo in the Hall of the 500, the bronze group of Judith and Holofernes by Donatello, the Putto with Dolphin by Verrocchio, the frescoes of Agnolo Bronzino in the Chapel of Eleonora; also take a close look at the frescoes and Dante’s death mask that inspired Dan Brown in his novel “Inferno”!
