This was a magical experience! First you enter a huge amphitheatre-like with statue surrounding the visitor. As you go up, you discover another atmosphere with statue and water feature. Once you are at the highest point, turn and look towards the palazzo, the perspective and the view. But the the highlight really comes when you arrive at the "Giardino del Cavaliere" with it s hidden garden, that reveals the view to distant Toscana landscape to the specator. A great experience !
Absolutely stunning. There were some cleaning crews doing maintenance on some parts of the garden, so we were unable to access everything, but the parts we did see were worthy of the admission price. There is a TON of walking up inclines. Be prepared. I was not :/.
Perfect place for some tranquility in the middle of the city. 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.
A beautiful way to spend 3 hours, it’s easy to explore without a map as it’s well signposted and it’s honestly so pretty that you’re better off just wandering around and exploring. Lots of benches throughout the gardens, it’s very inviting to just sit down and read for a bit. Gorgeous views of the city and a great place to get away from the city crowds, I went in at 10.30 and it was not very busy. Highly recommend taking mosquito repellent.
During our vacation in Florence we decided to visit the Boboli Gardens to escape the fuss of the city for one day. The garden itself is not too big and therefore walkable. Everything you can find here is within 10 minutes walking. There are several public restrooms and plenty of places you can take a pause on a bench. There is also a beautiful view over the Tuscan landscape (I forgot the name of the place where you have this view). Something people should be aware of is that they are currently renovating certain parts of the garden. For this reason, certain parts are closed or might ruin the experience of a beautiful looking garden. The fountains were not working as well. Another point that should be pointed out is that everyone (also the people who only visit the garden), will have to go to security (which means you also go through a metal detector). The only drawback I found is that the employees working here are not that friendly. This is something that had been pointed out by other people as well, so I am not entirely surprised. The employees gave me the feeling that they did not enjoy working here. The garden was worth seeing but I am not sure whether it is worth a repeat for in the future.
