The most beautiful gardens in Florence and surroundings
If you want to relax a little and discover the city's green spaces, Florence offers the opportunity to visit stunning and evocative historic gardens. The city villas not only offer green parks and lawns, but also host true open-air museums, with fountains and monuments from different eras.This article lists the most beautiful gardens to visit in Florence, in the city centre and beyond.
Boboli Gardens
If your Florentine escape is all too brief, make sure the Boboli Gardens, one of Florence's largest parks, are on your list of things to see. With their dreamy atmosphere and harmony of colours, the Gardens, an integral part of Palazzo Pitti, can be called an open-air museum thanks to works of art such as the Fountain of Neptune and the Ocean. The large park is an example of an Italian garden and owes its creation to the De Medici family. Remember to visit the Kaffeehaus, dating back to the late 1700s and built to a design by Zanobi del Rosso by order of Pietro Leopoldo, who would go there for coffee, as dictated by the fashion of the time. Don't forget to visit the other incredible buildings to be found there, first and foremost the Limonaia, with approximately 500 citrus pots!
