Florence: Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens Semi-Private Tour – Florence, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

Leave the noisy city streets behind on this spectacular itinerary at Palazzo Pitti. Learn how the Medici acquired the palace and how they began to transform the palace and the grounds behind it, the Bobo-li Gardens, into a model followed by many European courts for years to follow.

Inside the Palace, visit the Palatine Gallery, an extraordinary collection of old master paintings set in a sumptuous period setting. Hall after hall, admire great masterpieces, and fine 17th-century furnishings including tables with semi-precious stone inlays, vases, and impressive stuccoed and frescoed ceilings.

Then, exit the palace and walk among delightful gardens. See the grottos, fountains, and sculptures that transformed this vast green landscape into an outdoor museum. Enjoy beautiful views over the city.
