Pro tips to help you make a pick

Wear comfortable shoes, expect plenty of walking and some steep, uneven paths in the gardens and palace.

Consider adding an audio guide for richer context, especially as many art labels are in Italian only.

Bring water and sun protection; shade and seating are limited in the gardens, especially during summer.

If you have mobility concerns, note that the palace has many stairs and the gardens are mostly unpaved and hilly.

Plan breaks in quieter garden corners or at the Porcelain Museum terrace for a restful pause and great views.

Plan your visit

Pitti Palace Main Entrance (Piazza de' Pitti)

Located at the center of the palace’s grand facade on Piazza de' Pitti, this is the primary entrance for all Pitti Palace museums, including the Palatine Gallery, Royal Apartments, and Treasury of the Grand Dukes. The entrance is step-free and accessible for wheelchair users, with ramps and an elevator available to reach the main galleries. Ticket offices and security checks are located just inside the archway.

Boboli Gardens Courtyard Entrance

Accessed from inside the Pitti Palace, this entrance leads directly into the Boboli Gardens. It is located at the rear of the palace, through the internal courtyard. This entrance is convenient for visitors touring the palace first and then heading into the gardens. Please note that the initial garden paths are gravel and can be steep; only the lower sections are suitable for wheelchairs or strollers.

Porta Romana Entrance (Boboli Gardens South Gate)

Situated at the southern end of the Boboli Gardens on Piazzale di Porta Romana, this entrance is ideal for those visiting the gardens only or arriving from the Oltrarno district. It is clearly signposted and has a ticket booth. The terrain here is hilly and mostly unpaved, so accessibility is limited for wheelchairs and those with mobility challenges.

Annunziata Gate (Bardini Garden Access)

This secondary entrance connects the Boboli Gardens to the adjacent Bardini Garden, included with your combined ticket. It is located on the eastern side of Boboli, near the Porcelain Museum. The path between gardens is uphill and may be challenging for those with limited mobility.

The on-site service and helpfulness were great: we arrived too late, but were able to rebook our tickets for the next day. The on-site staff were very helpful. They immediately stepped in to ensure we got new tickets. The combination was just right for Florence.

A very positive experience, and the audio guide was very convenient. I have to say that since there are quite a few rooms, you could still appreciate the interior of the palace even though it was crowded. The only slightly negative thing was that the gardens were largely under renovation, and perhaps that should have been noted.

Artwork in the Pitti Palace was great. The missing pieces were the audio tour I paid for, but was told my the Pitti staff was not available. That, and the lack of signage of what I was viewing, made it made is almost boring and a barely passing grade (C-). A dead rat was floating in water in one of the ponds of the Boboli Gardens. Hmmmm, the more I think of it, I would give this tour a 1 star and D- grade. Extremely disappointed for the price. I'm telling any friends visiting Florence to skip this tour. Keep the $100 reward and send me a refund, please.
