Giardino di Boboli in Florence, Italy

The Italian city of Florence has a lot to offer to art lovers. One of Florence’s art treasures is ‘Giardino di Boboli’ or Boboli Gardens. Boboli Gardens are a fine example of Italian style gardens and a visit to the gardens is worth including during a trip to Florence.

Boboli Gardens, in Florence, are a real open air museum, because of their beautiful architecture and sculptures (including Roman antiquities as well as XVI and XVII century works). The gardens’ history spans over six centuries, as works on it started in the XV century and new art works were added up until the XIX century. The gardens, which became famous when the Medici family chose them as their city residence in Florence in 1549, host several precious sculptures.

Boboli Gardens occupy an area of about 45,000 square metres and are structured around two perpendicular axes, surrounded by flights of steps, hills, fountains and sculptures. Because of this, Boboli Gardens provide one of the most spectacular views in Florence. Boboli Gardens often host events, such as concerts and art exhibitions.
Give yourself at least a few hours time, during your visit to Florence in Italy, to walk around and fully enjoy these beautiful gardens. If you are visitingFlorence then an area with great atmosphere and culture to stay can be the San Marco area of Florence.
