Such a beautiful, tranquil park. During the fall the trees are covered in warm colors. There is a…read moredog park, a bike road, walking paths and areas with small ramps and levels thru the trees. So relaxing to walk around here. If you're looking to extract yourself from the busy center for a bit and have a different type of hang out, come to this park's little caffe bar to grab a beer in the summer, some wine, or a coffee in winter and sit in the comfy chairs overlooking the sunset on the Arno! There is an area dedicated for me, with swings and slides. Also there happen to be some children stealing my spot in the swings from time to time ;) And of course you might get to see the occasional homeless in the further end part of the park setting up camp for the night that you can cuddle with if you had too much wine. It is these little lungs in Florence that help you have a break away from the concrete jungle if you want a little bit of nature not too far of a walk from the center.

We haven't left Italy yet but this was phenomenal, number one. Capstone. This is a must do! This…read moreis a game changer. We were here for 2.5 hours and could have been here longer. This is my favorite part of my Florence trip. Simply amazing. So many amazing trials. Uphill , downhill filled with amazing art. Sculpted statues of magic! Church bells going on off while you enjoy this beautiful garden. Truly amazing And beautiful. From kashmere gardens In houston Texas to boboli gardens of Florence Italy. Blessed and highly favored. This is a must stop. Not sure how this doesn't have many reviews. Only 10 dollars to get in. I would have paid 50.00 Google has close to 29k reviews. Don't miss it. This place is a charm. Once in a lifetime experience.

Perfect place for some tranquility in the middle of the city…read more This was not on my list to visit the first time I was in the city. It happened to be just about 5 mins away by foot from where we were staying. We didn't book tickets ahead of time, but it was no problem as there was no line when we got there. There weren't that many flowers in bloom which was a bummer, but everything was trimmed that it reminded me of gardens in France. You can get a ton of steps in if you decide to walk every corner. I went up every stairs I saw. You get a great view of the city from the top. It was so nice to not hear the honks of cars and traffic noise. I was a little jealous of the folks who brought in their lunches. A ton of people were having themselves a little picnic situation in the corners that had shade. The property is kept super clean. I didn't see any staff on the actual grounds, but everything was orderly.

Wife and I took a wine tour that had a brief stop in Greve. We grabbed a quick coffee then just…read morestrolled around town. This piazza is so picturesque with the church at the top end. It's not crawling with tourists and the town and surround area are beautiful. I recommend leisurely strolling around the square and just taking it in

We couldn't decide if we wanted to do Boboli or Bardini (no time to do both) but we ended up at the…read moreentrance to Bardini first so we decided to check it out. Fair warning, the entrance isn't very clearly marked. It looks just like a business front and I was confused as to how entering the park would actually work. I didn't do much research (which is a shock I know) into this garden before coming and was a bit daunted by the uphill climb. From the entrance, I assumed there would be a funicular or something. I was wrong. Not only am I not in shape, but I've been having some medical issues, and I was terrified I just paid an entrance fee to a park that I cannot check out. Luckily, the switchbacks are super gentle. We could hardly "feel" walking up this hill. There was also a lot to look at as we walked up so it was really a beautiful "hike." We were confused a bit by the signs and how far the garden went up. We weren't the only ones either because two couples past us while we rested on a bench, wondering if they were going the "right way" as well. I was expecting a bit more "garden" but got more "trees and shrubs" but I think this place is worth the hike just for the views of Florence alone.

This beautiful park is under the radar, which isn't exactly a bad thing…read more You can enjoy peaceful walks with incredible views from every part of this park. During my visit, it wasn't crowded at all and it made the experience that much better. Highly recommend!
