# Uffizi vs Accademia Gallery

> Florence's essential pair: Renaissance painting at the Uffizi versus Michelangelo's David at the Accademia.

## Choose Uffizi Gallery if…
Choose the Uffizi for Botticelli Birth of Venus, Leonardo, and Raphael — book months ahead.

## Choose Galleria dell'Accademia if…
Choose the Accademia primarily for David; smaller collection, shorter visit.

## Visiting both
Schedule Accademia first (shorter), Uffizi after lunch; both require advance tickets in peak season.
