Boboli Gardens Ticket Reservation
CUMULATIVE TICKET - this ticket allows entrance to the following museums located inside Pitti Palace: Boboli Gardens,Bardini Garden and Porcelain Museum.
The Boboli Gardens
The Boboli gardens are the largest green area included in the town walls of Florence.
The Medici bought the Pitti Palace in 1549: shortly after their architects started creating the gardens, on the slope of the hill behind the palace and on the adjacent plots of land, where the Pitti had moscatello vineyards. According to the Renaissance taste, the garden is a natural space arranged according to geometrical schemes. Trees, meadows and hedges together with fountains, statues and artificial grottoes create a perfect combination of art and nature.
Bardini Garden
The Villa Bardini, home of the famous Florentine antique dealer of the turn of the 19th century Stefano Bardini, has recently been restored together with its garden. The large green area has been brought back to its original beauty and variety: it combines an English garden to the geometrical spaces created along the slope of the hill, marked by a monumental stairway. On top of it Bardini created a beautiful terrace, adding to already existing structures a portico with reliefs and other architectural elements from his collections. Here his clients, visiting his show room, could enjoy the spectacular view of Florence you discover from the hill top.
