Boboli Gardens - Pioneering Renaissance Italian gardens, a UNSECO Heritage site

Boboli Gardens in the backyard of Palazzo Pitti offers a serene escape from Florence's buzzing streets. Spread across 45,000 square meters, it boasts groundbreaking symmetrical layouts and designs, making it one of the earliest examples of formal Italian gardens. Wander through tree-lined paths, admire Renaissance fountains, ancient grottos, an amphitheater, and temples, reflecting the legacies of the Medici, Lorraine, and Savoy dynasties. Find curated tickets, tours, and plan the perfect visit with our handy travel guide.

Things to know before you buy Boboli Gardens tickets

  • Combo tickets with Palazzo Pitti has been a huge hit - considering the gardens are in the Palace's backyard and their intertwined significance, it makes sense to combine these attractions for a wholesome experience. Enjoy a contemplative, historically, and artistically rich visit at the Palace, and conclude with a delightful, scenic walk in the gardens.

  • Boboli Gardens tickets typically include access to neighboring attractions like the Porcelain Museum, a surprisingly amazing museum housing some of the best porcelain artworks from across Europe, and Bardini Gardens, a hidden gem of Florence's green architecture featuring rare and exquisite flora. However, do check the ticket details to confirm which additional sites are covered to make the most of your visit.

  • During peak times, booking tickets in advance can save you from long queues that might stretch up to an hour or more. Remember that tickets allow for single entry only and may be checked at any point during your visit.

  • The hilly terrain of the Gardens presents challenges for those with mobility issues or the elderly due to the steep gravel slopes, clayey soil, and numerous stairs. You may be unable to explore the entire complex of the gardens and would likely be restricted to solid, paved areas. Nonetheless, efforts have been made to enhance accessibility, including dedicated entrances and the provision of free rental wheelchairs and walkers at the ticket office. The Porcelain Museum doesn't support accessibility features.

  • If you're traveling with young children in a stroller, do mind the hills, stairs, and pebbly trails. Although, you can still access a lot of the gardens with a stroller, just not everything, you'll have to stick to pavemented paths. Maybe carry a lightweight stroller that is easy to fold and carry. Pets are forbidden except for the service animals.

  • Entry is free on the first Sunday of every month. However, be aware that it can get really crowded without any option to book priority access or reserved entry on those free days, even with a card or pass. Pregnant women and disabled visitors do get a precedence here.

  • Certain groups like children under 18 years, visitors with disability, ICOM members, Italian journalists, and Italian Ministry of Culture employees can visit the gardens for free. Florence residents can also visit Boboli Gardens for free through specific entrances: via Romana (Palazzina di Annalena) and Porta Romana (limited to Column Meadow and Basin of the Island), and Belvedere Fort (limited to Kaffeehaus area). Free entry via Pitti Palace is no longer available. Residents need to show a valid ID with proof of residency to get a free ticket.

  • For the best Boboli Gardens experience choose your slot wisely, aim for early morning or late afternoon visits to dodge the crowds and snag primo views! Think fewer people, more peace, and better photo ops with the stunning light. It's like having the gardens all to yourself—minus the hustle and bustle!

  • The Gardens may occasionally close temporarily or adjust their opening hours in response to weather emergencies, which could pose risks to visitors' safety and cause damage to property.
