Galleria dell'Accademia

MuseumFlorenceAbout 1 hour

Michelangelo's David, and the unfinished Prisoners in the corridor leading to him, which many people end up preferring — half-carved figures still emerging from the block. A small museum built around one sculpture: an hour is plenty. Book ahead, and go early or late, because the room around David fills.
