Florence Boboli Garden Tour

Head to the Pitti Palace in Florence to meet your guide and begin your tour of the Boboli Gardens. Designed for Cosimo I de’ Medici in the 16th century, Italian gardens became a model for royal estates throughout Europe.

Use your skip-the-line ticket to avoid any lines at the entrance and enter directly. Stroll along avenues lined with fountains, statues and grottos, and admire the terraces covered with greenery. As you walk, you will learn how garden artworks are believed to have hidden meanings and symbolic significance.

Listen to the stories of Roman gods and mythical heroes depicted by artists from ancient times to contemporary times. The Artichoke Fountain, a bronze statue of Neptune, and a secret garden are some of the highlights.

Before the tour ends, head to the highest point of the gardens for a panoramic view of Florence. The tour ends after 90 minutes.
