3 tips for visiting the Boboli Gardens
The view of Florence from Boboli Gardens1
Enjoy the view
If you love hunting for views, the Boboli Gardens are set slightly above the center of the city so you can find a great panorama of the Duomo and the rest of Florence.
Explore the paths and stairs of the Boboli Gardens2
Wear comfortable clothing
If you want to discover every secret the garden has to offer, make sure you wear comfortable shoes and clothes. There are lots of slopes and stairs, but if you love long walks there’s plenty to see!

Take your time for a picnic
If you’re looking for a lunch spot, bring a picnic blanket and some sandwiches! There are plenty of shady spots to escape the heat in summer. Just make sure to watch out for signs telling you not to walk on certain sections of the lawn.
Boboli Gardens: A Highlight in Florence
The Medici's stately park includes many kinds of works of art, buildings and grottos. The collection of Renaissance sculptures includes works by Michelangelo, Giambologna, and Buontalenti. Botanically the Boboli Garden also has a lot to offer: Roses and citrus.
Particularly Worth Seeing in the Boboli Gardens
A selection of some of the park's attractions.
Amphitheater with Obelisk
The amphitheater, built in the Renaissance, was decorated with ancient sculptures, including a real ancient Egyptian obelisk imported from Luxor in 1789.
Neptune Fountain
The trident of the Neptune figure designed by Stoldo Lorenzi is affectionately called Forchetta (fork) by the Florentine population.
Lemon House
In 1778, the greenhouse for citrus fruits, Italian Limonaia, was completed. The building was designed by Zanobi del Rosso.
Porcelain Museum
The collection of the Museo delle porcellane includes over 2000 pieces from the Medici period to the unification of Italy. Admission to the Porcelain Museum is included in the ticket for the Boboli Gardens.
Paths Through the Boboli Gardens
To see as much as possible there are two recommended paths through the gardes: while one runs relatively straight past the Nymphaeum, Neptune's Fountain, the Amphitheater, and the statue of the goddess Fortuna, the other winds around the garden's many grottos.
The historical Giardino di Boboli
Origins
The land on the hill, still owned by the Boboli family, was first used for agriculture. From the name of the former owners derives the name of the Boboli Garden.
Park
Commissioned in the age of the Renaissance by Eleonora of Toledo, wife of Cosimo I de' Medici to the architect Niccolò Tribolo, the design of the park is based on elements from antiquity. Some statues and works of art even date directly from the Roman Empire or even Ancient Egypt, such as the obelisk in the center of the amphitheater.
Even under the later rule of the Lorraine family, the Giardino was constantly expanded. The garden has been open to visitors since 1766 and today it welcomes approximately a million guests a year.
