Florence, arguably the most walkable city in the world, is synonymous with art and science. So, it's no wonder that some of the top tourist attractions in Florence are not only a testament to its artists and architects, but some of the best places to truly appreciate the city of Florence is its gardens.

After all, some of the city's most famous residents (especially Leonardo da Vinci) were fascinated by nature, and one of the best gardens to see that holds a special place in Florentine history and culture is the Giardino delle Rose (Rose Garden). Not only is it a beautiful place to relax on a slow afternoon in Florence, but it also has amazing views of the city.
