The Bargello Museum and Florence walking Tour: Private and Skip the Line Tour

The history is only one piece of what makes the Bargello a must-see during your visit to Florence. This is a museum for those of fine taste, a hidden gem in Florence that even during peak tourist season, it is easy to visit. The Bargello is to Florentine sculpture what the Uffizi is to Florence's painting. This private, guided museum visit takes you on a journey through the Renaissance from its early stages to the Mannerist phase, across the building's two floors. On the first floor, 1400's statuary masterpieces by Donatello and Verrocchio demonstrate their different interpretations of Florence's most important symbol, the David, far from Michelangelo's, as seen at the Accademia. The ground floor is enriched with high Renaissance 1500's masterpieces by Michelangelo, Cellini, and Giambologna. After the visit, the tour continues with a stroll along the Florentine streets, between the Duomo and the Palazzo Vecchio.
