Giardino di Boboli, Florence, Italy At the start of your tour, after crossing the Pitti Palace's courtyard your guide will lead you up to the “artichoke” fountain, the large octagonal basin decorated with numerous statues and crowned by a bronze lily. and in front of you is the sight of the "Amphitheatre" adjoined to the hill behind the palace, the first phase of creating this beautiful garden as the guide will explain how it was designed.
As you climb up the hill, you will find "Neptune’s fountain", and at the very top of the hill, the large statue of "Abundance", by Giambologna. The guide will later lead you through a steep sloping avenue to head back down the hill and to a large avenue known as the "Viottolone”, with cypresses and statuettes that then lead all the way down to the "Isolotto" a large pond, with an admirable fountain known as "The Ocean", created by Giambologna.
60 minutes

Ja, der Garten ist groß, aber wirklich nichts besonderes. Ungepflegt, viele Bereiche gespeert , keine blühenden Anplanzungen. Die 10 Euro kann man sich sparen

Questa è la seconda volta che ci vado.
Giardino che si snoda su più terrazze, dalle quali si può godere una vista stupenda delle colline toscane.
Ricco di vegetazione e di prati su cui potersi sedere.
È una scoperta unica.
C'è da camminare ed alcuni tratti, quelli che conducono alle terrazze, sono in salita, ma vale ogni passo!!

Pam was amazing! Our tour of Boboli was filled with interesting bits that connected the history of Florence and Boboli Gardens. Pam took the time to explain and gave context to the history of gardens and the city. I wish we had more time for more tours with Pam.
