Behind Palazzo Pitti extends the Boboli Gardens. The Medici were the first to take care of its arrangement, creating the model of an Italian garden that became an example for many European courts. The vast green area divided in a regular way, constitutes a real open-air museum, populated with ancient and Renaissance statues, adorned with caves, first of all the famous one created by Bernardo Buontalenti, and with large fountains, such as that of Neptune and of the Ocean.
We can confidently say that Boboli Gardens is one of the most beautiful gardens in Europe. Feel free to walk along Viottolone Avenue where you will find cypresses and blooms of every color frame. The views of Florence from this garden are spectacular.
Boboli Gardens is recognized in Hoptale's First-Time Visitor Guides as one of the top things to do in Florence.
