Michelangelo's David - David and Duomo Tour: Early Accademia and Skip-the-Line Dome Climb - Florence

PLEASE SUPPORT US BY SUBSCRIBING - THANK YOU!

In case you're wondering, here is a clip showing views of Michelangelo's David.

We took the David and Duomo Tour: Early Accademia and Skip-the-Line Dome Climb. We booked in on Viator here: https://www.viator.com/tours/Florence/David-and-Duomo-Tour-Early-Accademia-and-Skip-the-Line-Dome-Climb/d519-15693P42 and it was fantastic. Well worth the price to skip the long lines and get almost a private tour of the Duomo. After the tour we took the option to climb to the top of the Dome and that was definitely worth the steps to get the once in a lifetime views. It is really not too bad even though there are a lot of steps as there are multiple levels on which you get a break.

David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture, created in marble between 1501 and 1504 by the Italian artist Michelangelo. David is a 5.17-metre (17 ft 0 in)[a] marble statue of the Biblical figure David, a favoured subject in the art of Florence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Cathedral

Florence Cathedral, formally the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (Italian pronunciation: [katteˈdraːle di ˈsanta maˈriːa del ˈfjoːre]; in English Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower), is the cathedral of Florence, Italy (Italian: Duomo di Firenze). It was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to a design of Arnolfo di Cambio and was structurally completed by 1436, with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink, bordered by white, and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.
