Medici Treasures: Pitti Palace & Boboli Gardens Small Group Tour
Overview
Explore the legacy of the Medici family with a visit to Florence’s iconic Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens. This two-hour small group tour offers an immersive journey into the history, art, and nature.
Begin at Pitti Palace, a monumental Renaissance residence acquired by the Medici in 1549. Originally built for the Pitti family, this architectural masterpiece houses the outstanding Palatine Gallery, showcasing works by Raphael, Titian, and Caravaggio.
Next, stroll through the Boboli Gardens, a stunning example of Italian garden design. Conceived as an artistic retreat for the Medici family, the gardens have inspired countless others across Europe, including Versailles. You’ll encounter landmarks such as the Buontalenti Grotto, the Fountain of Neptune or the Amphitheater.
After the tour, relax in the gardens or a nearby café. A 24-hour ticket lets you continue exploring the museum at your leisure, making this an unforgettable experience.
