Post a brief recess, the awe-inspiring Boboli Gardens, a pioneering instance of the so-called Italian Renaissance garden, lay next in the itinerary.

The Pitti Palace stands as a prime illustration of a private Renaissance period palace.

Despite experiencing numerous expansions over several ages, the external facade remains remarkably unchanged, whereas the interior spaces reflect varying styles corresponding to the diverse families that inhabited it, ranging from the Pitti and Medici families to the Habsburg and Savoy lineage.

A splendid collection of exquisitely adorned chambers with priceless paintings, furniture, frescoes, and sculptures provide a glimpse of the deep-rooted love for the arts that the members of the Medici family possessed, allowing for a unique understanding of how power and creativity can converge.

Highly recommended - The Pitti palace was beautiful. It is really well organised inside & it is a fair price for all there is to see. The rooms had some furniture & the paintings were well worth seeing. It was far less crowded than the Uffizi.

VISITING THE PITTI PALACE IN FLORENCE - As usual with Viator we had an excellent Tour Guide who was very knowledgeable. What more can I say? Having tried other tour companies I can't recommend Viator highly enough. I have successfully used them before and was once again impressed by their efficiency.

Morning of Priceless Memories - One of the most fascinating and enjoyable experiences of our entire trip! Do plan to take in the entire Pitti Palace AND the Boboli Garden. They are inextricably linked - which one learns from the guide. As for our amazing and inspiring guide, her level of expertise and passion is unparalleled- she is a highly trained restorationist, chosen by the state for some of its most prestigious work conserving and restoring Italy’s priceless antiquities, specializing in frescoes. Camille was an absolute delight and infinitely endless font of information.
