We went here on a sunny but cold and windy day in late February. There actually were some flowering bushes, bulb flowers and pansies. The grounds people were getting the island garden ready. I'm sure this is beautiful in warmer weather!

It is a nice park and we walked around for about an hour. It is on a hill behind the Pitti Palace. There is a good view of Florence that makes it worthwhile. The garden terrace at the very top was nice and had good views of the valley. Should not cost 10e.

Pretty garden paths and sculptures along the way. There are also flowers at the Lemon House gardens. There is a lot of walking so bring water. This is something to do if you have extra time and enjoy outdoor walks in "clean woodlands".

The garden is a vast area and really, really beautiful. It is built mostly on a hill, so bring a bottle of water and good shoes. The gravel slopes are so steep that I would not recommend this to the eldest of the family. Inside the garden you can find many interesting details such as the Mostaccini fountain or Buontalenti Grotto (closed for renovation in June 23). There’s also a designated picnic area, but otherwise the grass is mostly off limits.

Big beautiful gardens behind putti palace in Florence. Bought tickets online in advance, got the email confirming ticket. Walk to patti palace and to ticket area on right side of building from palace entrance. Show email confirmation and they print out your tickets no more than 15 minutes in advance of your scheduled time for arrival. Go through metal detector and then into gardens. Decent climb up to top of gardens if guest are older or have disability. Large area to see and cover ( over 5 miles i walked) it is nice and views of florence are nice but it is not wonderfully maintained imho.

Great gardens with lots to see. They’re surprisingly large and very hilly. Maybe don’t come here when is above 90 degrees as it’s not quite nice on those days. We chose not to do the palace, but you can get tickets into the garden at the same place and same entrance. The price for just the garden is a little steep.....as are the rocky paths on a hot day. I’m not 100% sure you can get in if you do but a good picnic or a little wine and cheese might be a good option here? We enjoyed the walk despite the hot temperatures.

Bought a combo ticket including the Pitti Palace. It was nice to see the vastness of the garden after seeing the extravagance of inside the palace. It is steeper than it looks to walk up the hill. Grass was green and well kept, but not too many flowers when we went in mid May. There were some birds in the fountain at the top. We walked from here to the Bardini gardens, which was also included in the ticket. On the way up, there was a place to get a pretty good view of the city.

The Boboli Gardens experience was really disappointing. The only reason I didn’t give it a 1 or a 0 was because it did have a nice grassy knoll with a gorgeous sculpture or two. But walking around the skeleton of an old palatial garden, turning on gravel pathways and through overgrown boxwood bushes was not at all worth any money. Should be free unless they actually use it as a garden and add some real botanical life. Maybe there are restrictions given its historical prevalence, but then it should be free. The place has the potential to be Butchart Gardens but it’s more like walking around someone’s palatially sized dilapidated backyard.

Visited September Very underwhelming. Zero color, nothing in bloom Lemon house closed and would not waste a single second here Unless you have ABSOLUTELY nothing else to see in Florence I would avoid unless in spring or perhaps fall. Really couldn’t get out to there fast enough

Don’t waste time visiting the Boboli gardens! After visiting the Pitti Palace, which was the highlight of our Italian trip so far, we excitedly ventured out to the second part of the visit, the Boboli Gardens, expecting similar grandeur. Instead we were saddened to find an awful, dusty, ill kept mess of a garden. Clearly this could be one of the most beautiful gardens in the world if anyone room are of it. Such a shame and outrageous that they are charging money to enter. Stick to the Pitti Palace instead which was simply amazing!
