The Accademia Gallery is just next door to Piazza San Marco. Accademia Gallery and Accademia Gallery are located very close to each other so visiting both on the same day is something that is very easy to do. Getting to the Gallery using public transport is quite easy, thanks to the Firenze Santa Maria Novella or Firenze SMNT. It is within convenient walking distance of most tourist attractions in Florence. The Accademia is just a 20-minute walk from the train station. It is not advisable for tourists to take the cab because cab drivers charge exorbitant fees for non-locals and tourists get ripped off frequently. It is also a good option to stay in one of the hotels that are in proximity of the gallery.
