Accademia Gallery
Visit the Accademia for Michelangelo’s original David and unfinished Prisoners inside the gallery; reserve a slot if avoiding an uncertain queue matters.
Why go
Seeing David at full scale in its purpose-built gallery changes the encounter from a familiar image to a sculptural experience. The nearby Prisoners show the unfinished figures emerging from marble, while the other rooms broaden the visit beyond a single work. It is a compact museum compared with the Uffizi.
