Boboli Gardens Timed Entry Tickets

About this experience

What are the Boboli Gardens? The Boboli Gardens sit directly behind Pitti Palace and span 45,000 square metres of landscaped grounds, fountains, grottoes, and classical sculpture. Laid out by the Medici family in the 16th century, they are considered one of the first examples of the formal Italian garden style that later influenced royal parks across Europe. Your ticket also includes access to the neighbouring Bardini Gardens. What can I see in the Boboli Gardens? The gardens contain over four centuries of art and architecture. Highlights include the Buontalenti Grotto with its stalactite decorations and sculpted figures, the Neptune Fountain, the Amphitheatre with its Egyptian obelisk and Roman granite basin, and the Isolotto, a small island at the far end of the gardens featuring the Fountain of the Ocean. The tree-lined Viottolone avenue, the Kaffeehaus (an 18th-century Rococo pavilion), and panoramic terraces with views across Florence complete the route. What are the Bardini Gardens? Connected to the Boboli Gardens via the Forte di Belvedere gate, the Bardini Gardens are smaller and quieter, with a baroque staircase, seasonal wisteria, and some of the best elevated views over the city. Access is included in your Boboli ticket. How long does a visit take? Most visitors spend 1.5 to 2 hours in the Boboli Gardens alone. Allow an extra hour if you want to explore the Bardini Gardens as well.

The gardens are partially wheelchair accessible, but some areas may be difficult to navigate due to uneven terrain.
