If you only see the Duomo, you will be 100% disappointed... The real Florence is in the Boboli Gardens.

Boboli Gardens (Boboli Gardens) — A Walk Through the Royal Gardens of Florence

1. Basic Information

🎟 Admission Fee
General admission €16 (as of 2025) / Combined with Pitti Palace €22 / Information on discounts and free admission for children and youth available.

🚇 Transportation
Located right behind Pitti Palace, within walking distance. A 15-minute walk or bus ride (C3) is available.

Behind Pitti Palace, in the heart of Florence, a world of tranquility and greenery unfolds, as if escaping the hustle and bustle of the city.

At the heart of the gardens, lavish sculptures and fountains, cultivated by medieval royals, line the paths. The views of the Buontalenti Grotto, the Fountain of Neplutone, and the city skyline from the Hill of Apollo were particularly impressive.

Every moment, with the sun shining and the breeze blowing through, felt like a painting. The tranquility, contrasting with the bustle of Florence, was another highlight of my trip!

Tips

Time Required: 1.5-2 hours for a leisurely stroll through the gardens alone. If you'd like to include the Pitti Palace, a generous half-day is recommended.

Ticket Reservation: Online reservations are convenient and avoid long lines. This is especially important during peak season!

Seasonal Selection Tip: Spring (April-May) is the most beautiful season with flowers in full bloom,

and off-season (winter) offers a quieter atmosphere.

Amenities: There's a fountain for drinking water in the gardens. Restrooms are located throughout, including near the amphitheater.

Fitness Management: Comfortable shoes are recommended, as there are many slopes and stairs.

4. Personal Review

Escaped from the hustle and bustle of Florence, I felt like the center of attention in this royal garden.

The sunlight filtering through the stone steps, the melody of time flowing between the statues, and the panoramic view of the entire city.

The Boboli Gardens were a shining break from my Florence trip, and I'm sure I'll experience something new every time I visit.
