We saw David at the beginning of our Nude and Food tour with Florence for Foodies ( separate review), and he was even more majestic and perfect than I expected ( and I had high expectations indeed). Pictures alone do not do it justice. Michaelangelo imbued him with so much warmth and humanity that you truly forget he's made of... More

yes, it's quite a big queue- about an hour seems to be average, but when you get inside, it's not mobbed with people, and quite spectacular. worth it.

One cannot travel to Florence without seeing the original David. It is amazing. Try to book tickets to the Accademia in advance as otherwise the line for entry is very long. Only 4 euros additional per entry for the reservation. With a confirmation number you collect your tickets and pay in cash.
