Top 10 Nature & Parks in Florence Historic Center, Tuscany

May 6, 2022 Brain Ambrose

Florence is an art historian’s dream. The Galleria dell'Accademia bursts with works by Michelangelo, who is entombed within the frescoed walls of the Basilica di Santa Croce. Budding photographers can snap pics of the Ponte Vecchio bridge, and serious shoppers can spend a blissful afternoon wandering the shops of Piazza Santo Spirito. Tuscan cuisine pays homage to the region’s bounty. Swipe a hunk of crusty bread across a pool of local olive oil and you’ll be instantly transported to your happiest place.

Giardino Bardini

Reviewed By sophiem923 - Ermenonville, France

The garden was recommended by a guide book and it did not disappoint. It is quite simply the most beautiful view on Florence. Definitely worth the climb. I was able to get some fresh air despite the heat. Do not miss this hidden gem!

Giardino Torrigiani

Reviewed By rhobags - London, United Kingdom

The gardens of the Torrigiani family are hidden away but I cannot urge travellers to Florence strongly enough to book a tour. The nurseries are wonderful, I walked over fields of mint, climbed to the top to see the folly tower, Vieri is a fabulous host and the bar is open in the evenings from 6pm. It is a magical place a short walk from the city centre. Do seek it out - you will be enthralled, as I was.,

Arno River

Reviewed By Noraatc - Sudbury, United States

We love walking along the Arno River... Why? First, because you can get away from insane crowds... Second, because you can enjoy the best views of Ponte Vecchio, facades of gorgeous palaces on both sides of the river, and cross the bridges to the neighborhoods unknown to tourists. This is how you experience real Firenze... The river is known for bringing disastrous floods to the city, so it is not as tranquil as you might think. The last devastating flood happened in 1966 with 37 human lives lost and many art treasures damaged. And the Arno is really atmospheric in the rain... we enjoyed our walk on a rainy day in May and the photos came out beautifully.

Giardino di Boboli

There is plenty of sun, shade, singing birds and whispering fountains in one of Florence's largest and most beautiful gardens, which are located behind the massive Pitti Palace.

Reviewed By rmcleodx - Prince George, Canada

If you are tired of the markets and the majestic architecture, try a stroll around the Boboli gardens. You can visit the Pitti Palace and the gardens in a single afternoon, and the gardens allow both fantastic views of the city, and the opportunity for several quiet strolls with someone special. Nothing overly special about the porcelain museum at the top, except for the view of the countryside and free admission! The admission price into the gardens is a little steep considering it is simply a park to enjoy, but if you have time to explore, worth the cost.
