Florence After Hours

Florence is one of the most visited cities in the world—and for good reason. It’s the birthplace of the Renaissance, a city steeped in art, architecture, and cultural heritage. But with its fame comes crowds, long lines, and packed galleries that can make even the most breathtaking artwork feel rushed. Book our After-hours art tour Florence today!

Artviva offers a rare alternative: exclusive After-hours art tour in Florence of two of Florence’s most iconic landmarks—the Uffizi Gallery and Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia Gallery. These experiences are not only private, but immersive and unforgettable, allowing you to connect with the masterpieces of the Renaissance in the way they were meant to be seen: in peace, in beauty, and in silence.

Stand Alone with Greatness: The Exclusive Tour of Michelangelo’s David – After-hours art tour Florence

Few works of art in the world are as powerful and awe-inspiring as Michelangelo’s David. Towering at over five meters tall, carved from a single block of Carrara marble, David is not only a symbol of Florence—it’s a testament to human genius.

Highlights of the Experience:

  • Private access to the Accademia Gallery after hours

  • A curated, guided experience led by a passionate art historian

  • Time to study not just David, but Michelangelo’s unfinished “Prisoners” sculptures—raw and full of motion

  • Insight into Michelangelo’s techniques, philosophy, and artistic legacy

  • An emotional, crowd-free atmosphere that lets the sculpture’s power speak directly to you

This tour is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with a masterpiece in a personal and profound way.
