Museum
Home of Michelangelo's original David, plus his unfinished Prisoners, which seem to struggle out of the marble.
David was moved here from Piazza della Signoria in 1873 to protect it from the weather, and a skylit tribune was built around it. The corridor leading to it is lined with Michelangelo's unfinished Prisoners, which show how he carved. The rest of the museum, including a collection of historic musical instruments, is quieter and worth a slow look.
Best time to go: Late afternoon slot, booked in advance; the gallery is compact, so an hour is enough.
