Michelangelo Tour – Walking Tour of Florence, David & Accademia

Enjoy some of the most intriguing aspects of florentine history, with this walking tour through Michelangelo’s life, his masterpiece “David” & Accademia. A must-see tour of Renaissance Florence.

This Michelangelo & Florence Walking tour highlights some of the most intriguing aspects of Florentine history: the quaint medieval Ponte Vecchio (the oldest bridge in Florence), the grandiose Piazza della Signoria with the picturesque medieval city hall (the political center), and last but not least, Piazza Duomo (the religious center of the city where Brunelleschi’s beautiful cupola dominates the square).

The Michelangelo and Florence Walking tour ends with a tour inside the Academy museum to have a breathtaking view of the world famous statue of “David” by Michelangelo. Through this Michelangelo tour we will see his famous “captives” writhing and struggling out of their marble blocks of stone and follow the artistic career of this great Master of the Renaissance. After the tour there will still be plenty of time to explore the Academy museum on own.
