Boboli garden with great views over Florence - We visited the Boboli Garden because we have set ourselves this sight in Florence ,as a destination.The Boboli Garden is very nicely designed with many statues ,some fountains ,plants and flowers.We have coped with the partly steep paths at 39 degrees .There are therefore fortunately some drinking fountains in the Boboli Garden.We were very surprised at the design of the garden it is just beautiful .When you get to the top you are rewarded with a beautiful view over Florence ❤️.Unfortunately not everything have seen .Since just some buildings were not open.Nevertheless this place has something magical.

Escape the hustle and bustle of downtown - This open-air museum is located above Florence and offers great views over the city and Tuscany. So a visit there was already worth it, The statues aren't exactly interesting. But in the shaded areas of the park you can escape the heat of the day. Since there is no restaurant there, you should bring the drinks yourself. The entrance fee is reasonable for Villa Bardini (a neighbouring park).

*Can be seen, but you don't have to* - There are nicer gardens, but was included as a combined ticket as a visit. At the top beautiful view of Florence !

Disappointing. Will not tell my son to visit Boboli - I have always heard of the famous Boboli Gardens. My father told me after a world travel more than 40 years ago that Boboli was the most beautiful and impressive he had ever seen. This after coming from the garden paradise that is Jamaica. It was number 1 on our itinerary. Unfortunately getting to the Piti Palace in Florence by taxi or walking is not easy and we arrived late. The group we were with had already left for the tour and we were expected to catch up. We never did as there was no way to contact or locate the guide . So we walked it alone. Boboli was obviously living in the past. There were few gardens and a lot of dry unkempt areas. Mythological ot was intact with many statues of Roman and Greek gods and a steep climb to a great view of mansions in the hills surrounding the peak in addition to a stunning view of the duomo and piti Palace. The carved stone head of Piti was the highlight. There was also gardens closer to the palace and a lemon garden as well with a statue of lacoon . It might have been that our visit was at the wrong time of year but we were dissapointed.

Nice, but no more - I've seen much prettier parks. The view upstairs is very beautiful, but the climb is very steep. We went to the garden at the end of October, so not many flowers, that said, we expected a little.

More appearances than being! - Unfortunately, expectations were not met. To us the park seemed a bit unkempt, even the paths were partly dirty. If you looked to the right and left, a lot of weeds could also be seen. Nothing bloomed in the park in September, hopefully spring is different. The 10 € p.P. should be invested in the care if this is not already done. There's no further reprimand from me.

Bigger mouse of the trip Horrible Dirty Garden poorly cared for without water support Dirty lake hard access Thick gravel - Horrible very dirty without accessibility without support Wrong boards without shade Broken benches and in the sun nothing to add just has lively fences cut into squares without flowers Disappointment I will never recommend very bad indication People should be warned of the precarious state of the garden I will always go to beautiful gardens on my trips

Do not waste your money - I tried to reach the operator to let them know the directions were wrong and we would be late. I sent a chat message and tried to reach someone at the number provided and did not receive a call or message return. My tickets were not left at the window so I had to buy another 2 tickets. This was not a great experience with the tour company. Adduinally the gardens are not cared for and looked bad overall. It was a very disappointing experience overall
