Your Visit to the Boboli Gardens

Step away from Florence's city centre and enter Boboli Gardens, one of Italy's finest open-air museums of garden design. This guided tour offers an immersive look into the grand estate behind the Pitti Palace, once the private retreat of the powerful Medici family and now a showcase of Renaissance landscaping heritage.

Explore Iconic Green Spaces

The Boboli Gardens sprawl over more than 100 acres. Your guide will lead you along iconic cypress corridors, through vast lawns and shaded groves. You'll walk paths once traversed by nobility, while learning about the garden’s construction and the Medici's legacy in shaping Florence's art and architecture.

Art, Fountains and Sculptures

The gardens are famed for their incredible array of Renaissance and classical artwork displayed in an outdoor setting. Visit the Fountain of Neptune, a symbolic centrepiece adorned with a dramatic statue. Stroll past the Buontalenti Grotto, where mythological scenes unfold in stone and mosaic. Along the way, admire Roman statuary and explore areas filled with over 300 impressive sculptures from various periods.

The Medici Influence and Noble Life

Your guide will share stories of the Medici family and how Boboli Gardens reflected their power and artistic interests. You’ll hear about grand events, courtly festivities and the garden’s transformation into a model of Renaissance landscape architecture, influencing gardens all over Europe.

Unique Architectural Features
