    Meet your guide at your centrally-located Florence hotel and head for the Accademia Gallery, one of the city's top museums. Bypass the long queues with skip-the-line tickets. The primary draw of the Accademia is Michelangelo's 'David.' The statue rules the historical center's focal exhibition; this exceptional show-stopper has turned into the image of Renaissance magnificence. Set aside the opportunity to look at this artful culmination and appreciate its magnificence from each viewpoint. Michelangelo was still in his mid 20s when he cut the statue from a solitary square of Carrara marble. It's 17 feet (5.17 meters) tall, and speaks to the Biblical saint, David, who killed Goliath. It was disclosed in 1504 and not long after came to symbolize the guard of common freedoms epitomized by the Florentine Republic. Notwithstanding 'David,' the Accademia likewise has a few incomplete Michelangelo models, in addition to a gathering that incorporates works by Botticelli, Paolo Uccello, Andrea del Sarto, and that's just the beginning. Appreciate bits of knowledge into the work of art in plain view from your guide all through the visit.
