The traveler's tip

I recommend that you visit the Accademia Gallery on a weekday in the early morning or late afternoon. This is when there are fewer visitors and you will be able to see each of the works in greater comfort and tranquility.

The visit to the Accademia Gallery has an estimated duration of between 45 and 90 minutes depending on the pace at which you do it and the time you stop in front of each of the works. If you take a guided tour of the Galleria dell'Accademia the duration is usually between 75 and 90 minutes.

Regarding the days that the Galleria dell'Accademia is closed, in addition to every Monday of the year, we must also add January 1 and December 25. However, it is always advisable to check the official website before your visit in case of any last minute changes.

The Accademia Gallery is, together with the Uffizi Gallery, the most visited museum in Florence. Therefore, whenever you go, it is common to find a large number of people queuing to enter. Even so, it is always less crowded on weekdays, both early in the morning and late in the afternoon. And, of course, between the months of October and April there will always be fewer visitors than from May to September, which coincides with the high season months in Italy.

The Accademia Gallery is the second most visited museum in Florence and one of the most popular in Italy, so if you want to avoid the long queue at the ticket office, I recommend you to buy your tickets online in advance. In addition, it is advisable that you buy a ticket with priority access to access as quickly as possible.
