El David Reviews

Some repetition of artwork in Uffizi, but one can see the original David

The devine grand grace of Michelangelos David is almost overwhelming and left me speechless and dizzy with wonder. Truly Awesome..

Very cool !! Must see !! Had no idea he was so large !! 17'

Always nice to see, every time I notice new details ...

Great experience. Dont want to put up images but definatley worth it. Dont want to ruin it for people who havent seen it!

I was surprised When I arrived there was a line, a Spanish man, he wanted to sell me the ticket for 40 euros, thank goodness I said no. The queue goes fast and then the entry is worth 12. For me, that is defined as a scam. For the rest, it's worth the tail

The museum is just... Okay. Seeing David made it worth it for me!

Exquisite statue . Great place to look at . No photo !
My regrets that I could not found one decent replica. Next time !

No words to describe. Appreciated each and every tendon and vein on the hand and foot. Loved every tendon and muscle on the limbs and abdomen

I M P R E S I O N A N T E
You have to look at all the details and enjoy it

Another unmissable lugsr to visit. A magnificent sculpture

One cannot fail to experience Stendhal's syndrome in front of this masterpiece of humanity

Beautiful work of art except for 5 points
1. Lack of ventilation
2. People selling tickets outside the museum
3. Shut up even if you are not talking
4. Audio guides cost
5. Lack of security for pickpockets

Fantastic to make it perfect he used multiple pieces of Carrara marble

Very impressive!! Its difficult to imagine the time and talent to accomplish such a work with the tools of that time...

It does not make much sense to pay and enter it when there are sculptures in Florence's squares.

It is unique, it impresses to see the size of the sculpture !!

Recommended to get tickets early before arrival, due to huge crowds. Magnificent statue of David.

A show ... It borders on reality in an impressive way

Perhaps one of the most beautiful and exciting works I have ever seen

The representation of perfection. I could look at it for hours.

I didn't see the genuine David, because it's needed to pay, then I saw the model outside the building, it's cool!

After seeing the statue of David in books, I didn't imagine that the real thing would actually be such a marvel. What I didn't anticipate was the scale of the statue and the way his limbs and muscles were pronounced, making him seem almost superhuman. I now understand why he so easily slayed Goliath with a simple sling shot. If ever in Italy do not skip this attraction. You will never buy any of the replicas once you see the real thing. It cannot be compared.

There is little to say, it is the most beautiful statue in the world, of the details to be left with your mouth open. Michelangelo great genius superfine artist. Those who visit Florence should not forget the real David, found in the Accademia Gallery.

Sculpture that has stunned generations and will continue to do so. Excellent work.

Pay for a tour, it makes you understand this much better.

Beautiful! Admission 12 but it is very worth it. The David is great to stay a good while contemplating the details.

A capo the David, he has a little small dick but his buttocks are solid.

Michelangelo's David is a sculpture made of marble (height 520 cm including the 108 cm base) by Michelangelo Buonarroti built around 1500 and preserved in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence.
It is considered a masterpiece of world sculpture, it is one of the emblems of the Renaissance as well as a symbol of Florence and Italy abroad. The work draws the biblical hero as he prepares to face Goliath.
If you pass by Florence a visit is a must

Unique and alone, even if the copy of Arrighetti in Piazza della Signoria is well done. The original by Michelangelo is located inside the Galleria dell'Accademia.

As long as you haven't gone to the gallery you can't say you've seen David

Great ! not too busy and you have to see it at least once in your life!

I had already seen it ...... but seeing it again was a pleasure !!!

Bigger than you first think and it's amazing to think that it was sculpted so long ago

Quite impressive. Had a wonderful time witnessing this in person

Amazing! Despite the two hours waiting to enter having seen the famous David is priceless. A must!

It is the main attraction of the Accademia Gallery. Reservations are highly recommended to avoid the long line outside the building. Due to the limitations due to Covid there are not many visitors and the hall is not crowded. Too bad that the second floor and the section dedicated to musical instruments have closed, the visit is too short and the cost of the ticket is excessive.

Interesting exhibit, it is definitely better to go with a guide

Awe inspiring. Lots of people with lines. There is a museum besides seeing the David but the rest is trivial compared to Michaelangelo's David. However I did find the small musical instrument section interesting.

Impressive, especially I recommend making the visit with a guide

Plenty of artwork, and of course, Michelangelo's incredible statue of David, which outclasses everything else with an incredible glance at the back of the gallery.

Superb! If you arrive in Florence, don't miss the famous David!

Book in advance! This museum gets extremely busy. Booking in advance to skip the line will cost around 24-26 euro but it's better than waiting in line for 2 hours. Personally I don't think it was great value but I'm sure others would take a different view. There are guided tours available but there is lots of information next to the paintings and sculptures so think twice before shelling out 40 odd euro pp for that. A worthwhile experience if you have time, but not cheap.

I visited the place today to appreciate the great work by Michelangelo. After queuing for half an hour, I left without entering,
here is why:

He first started accusing me for skipping the line which i didn't. so i said i wasn't skipping the line. there are two security gate and i went for one of them.

Then he staring at me and shouting: I'm the security here, if you go against me, I will call the police.
I wasn't doing anything wrong so I said: you can call police anytime you want, I didn't do anything wrong.
Then he shouted again: you either do as I said or you get out.
Apparently, I said I will leave now. As I am not begging you to visit the place. I did nothing to deserve this.
I'm Asia, maybe this is just one of the cases where minority got discriminated.

I am sure if Michelangelo was alive, he will be shamed that his masterpiece is guarded by this guy, who apparently has no manner or courtesy.

I hope the manager can review their process and stuff to make sure all tourists deserve what they come for.

Sometime even if we know we can't change anything, we still should try our best to make the world a better place.

It's like Greta, she might already know the big enterprise/country won't do anything to save the planet, but she is still doing her best to make the world a better place.

When I took the photo of this guy he was even proud of himself, he might truely think he is the king.
