Florence, a city of art, culture, and the Renaissance, not only houses architectural treasures and timeless artworks but also a myriad of enchanting gardens. Exploring Florence by strolling through its gardens is an experience that allows you to immerse yourself in nature and to appreciate even more the beauty of this city.
Let's start our itinerary with the magnificent Boboli Gardens. Starting from S4 Stays or Il Santo Stays, located in Piazza dell’Indipendenza, to reach the magnificent Boboli Gardens, you can opt for public transportation or take a short and convenient walk. Once there, you will be greeted by the grandeur of this historic park, with its tree-lined avenues, Baroque fountains, and ancient sculptures that adorn the green spaces. Here you can admire ancient sculptures and outdoor artworks, including the famous Fountain of Neptune and the Buontalenti Grotto. Getting lost in its pathways is an experience not to be missed, for both adults and children!
Bardini Gardens
Continuing your stroll, you can head to the Bardini Gardens, an oasis of tranquility characterized by panoramic terraces and lush vegetation with a spectacular view of the city. The garden integrates three different gardens, each representing different eras and styles:
the Italian garden, with its magnificent Baroque staircase;
the English woodland, which, with its exotic elements, represents a rare example of an Anglo-Chinese garden;
the agricultural park, which includes a new orchard and the splendid wisteria pergola.
Not to be missed in spring is the pergola of Villa Bardini, considered one of the most beautiful wisterias in the area.
Rose Garden
Continuing your stroll, you can head to the Rose Garden, an enchanted garden located below Piazzale Michelangelo, one of the most famous panoramic points in Florence. Open all year round, it truly comes to life when over a thousand varieties of roses, including about 350 very ancient ones, bloom. During the spring and summer seasons, the garden fills with vibrant colors and intense scents, which you will immediately notice upon entering. For photography enthusiasts, every corner offers a picturesque and romantic view, perfect for capturing unforgettable photos to take home as a memento of your vacation in Florence.
