I’m continuing my Mediterranean cruise tour today with our time at the Accademia Gallery in Florence.  As I mentioned in my first Florence post, we had a very short amount of time in Florence. We spent most of our time in the city outside. The one interior tour we took was the Accademia Gallery. Best known as the home of Michelangelo’s David, the Accademia also features a wealth of other Michelangelo sculptures and a sizable collection of paintings by Florentine artists, such as Pontormo, Sandro Botticelli, Andrea del Sarto, and Domenico Ghirlandaio.

I’m continuing my Mediterranean cruise tour today with a whirlwind view of Florence. We opted to see Florence and Pisa in a single day, as we only had one day in the port of Laspezia, which meant a flying visit to both cities. We don’t regret visiting Pisa. But we felt like we barely scratched the surface of Florence and would love to visit again someday. The pictures I’m sharing today illustrate just a tiny fraction of what you can see in this amazing city.
