Seeing David statue with my own eyes was a great experience. If you love sculptures, you should definitely visit every inch of Accademia. We bought tickets online. In order to have a quick access, I suggest you to buy tickets online.

Went solely to see the statue of David which did not disappoint. It’s beautifully presented with information on the statue itself. It’s a remarkable piece of historical art.
