Parks in Florence

Avoid the Group tours by getting there early preferably 08:15 when the doors open. Go straight to the top floor for the modern art galleries. I managed to walk though these rooms practically on my own as everyone seemed to cram into the palace rooms on the first floor, which are worth a walk though. There are very little plaques to give content and history. Seems that they want you to purchase the audio tour as well. The next best thing about the palace are the gardens although much seemed to be draped in scaffolding for renovation. What with that and the palace treasure rooms being closed, I feel that this should have been reflected in the ticket price. Be very aware that every church, museum, palace and gallery has a price to get in so choose wisely.

The artwork in the Pitti Palace and the building and decor were stunning and entry was no problem with the ticket purchased via Headout. We had a problem with entry to the Boboli Gardens and the audio guide though, but Headout sorted the issue impressively quickly and sympathetically. Be aware that audio guides can be sourced too at the venue. The views from the top of the gardens were lovely; the gardens less so. Much was either not open, or under renovation so couldn't be accessed. The rest was rather unkempt and looked unloved, which was a shame - a nice quiet place for a stroll though.

Visite fort intéressante Elle retrace bien au travers de l'exposition des tableaux, la vie artistique de Florence, la vie des personnages importants qui ont marqués la ville. Nous avons découvert des chefs d'oeuvres avec les travaux de marqueterie de pierres semi-précieuses des tables. On n'a pas vu le temps passé.

Cortesia e gentilezza alla persona che si trovava all' ingresso. Bellissimo percorso, sensazione di calma e scoperto all'orto botanico di piante molto belle e particolare. Unica pecca non siamo riusciti a visitare museo della ceramica. Per il resto, splendida esperienza.
