Located across the Arno River in Florence from the Duomo and the Uffizi Galleries, the Boboli Gardens are a tranquil, verdant spot that are as easy on the eyes as on the ears and the olfactory glands. The vast garden contains sculptured hedges, marble statues, fountains, and artificial grottos. It’s a garden full of secrets and curiosities and should not be missed.
It’s also the perfect antidote to escaping the bustle of the streets of Florence. An ideal way to experience Bobili Gardens is to take a guided tour—a three-hour small-group tour that gets you skip-the-line-access to the magical Uffizi Gallery where you’ll be rewarded with up-close and insider’s look at works by Michelangelo, Rafael, Botticelli, and Da Vinci.
