Top Florence Nature Parks in 2026

Explore the beautifully landscaped Boboli Gardens, adorned with over 500 sculptures, fountains, and breathtaking views of Florence. Stroll along the Viottolini, the main avenue lined with cypress trees, and explore the garden's many hidden corners, including the Grotto of Moses, the Grotto of the Animals, and the iconic Neptune Fountain. The route rises from the Ammannati courtyard behind the Pitti Palace through a sequence of set-pieces: the Amphitheatre, built on the site of a former stone quarry and centred on an Egyptian obelisk; the Grotto of Buontalenti, an extraordinary artificial cave of stalactites, frescoes, and sculpture; the Fountain of Neptune and the Fountain of the Ocean; the Viottolone, the long cypress avenue descending toward Porta Romana; the Kaffeehaus, an 18th-century Rococo pavilion rare in Tuscany; the Lemon House, built by Zanobi del Rosso in 1777–78; and the Knight's Garden, the Garden of Madama, and the Grotto of Adam and Eve.
