Boboli is a superb garden-decorative of the Palazzo Pitti, and is all the more essential in April, when the wisteria are in bloom.

Adjacent to the Pitti Palace and the Belvedere Fort, the Boboli Gardens belong to the closed circle of parks to welcome at least 800,000 visitors per year. Historically, for the value of the landscapes they offer and for the collection of sculptures, from Roman antiquity to the 17th century, it is easy to understand why they are so attractive. It can be accessed from the courtyard of the Palazzo Pitti or from the Porta Romana.

Under the inspiration of the owners of the Pitti palace, the Medici, then the Habsburgs and finally the house of Savoy, different arrangements shaped the garden. The Renaissance style is thus clearly identifiable near the palace. The gravel paths, water bodies and fountains with water lilies, small temples and caves incorporate a mannerist vision. The small cave of Madame, and the Great Cave, begun by Vasari, and completed by Ammanati and Buotalenti between 1583 and 1593, are a perfect example of this with their water plays and their effects of lush vegetation. The first of these caves was even covered with frescoes to create the illusion of a natural cave in which shepherds took refuge to defend themselves from wild animals. It also housed Michelangelo's Prisoners (now replaced by a copy). In this garden, statues and factories, such as the Kaffeehaus (18th century), also illustrate an oriental style. Also, at the very top is a small porcelain museum.

GIARDINO DI BOBOLI
Une bonne idée de promenade et de verdure dans cette cette ville pleine de touristes.
Le jardin est très beau mais peu (pas assez) fleuri à mon gout.

Jardin nul
Je ne recommande pas du tout ce jardin (10€ l’entrée adulte et 20 minutes de queue dans la rue, on s’entend à un pur moment de bonheur bucolique mais NON !) Certes c’est grand (d’après la carte) car en fait, on n’a aucune vue d’ensemble: que des hautes haies qui coupent toute perspective ou vue, des allées étroites et des escaliers qui montent et descendes (car à flanc de colline). Pas de plantation particulière, une fontaine sans fontaine (juste un bassin d’eau sale), le tout entouré de bâtiments fermés, à l’abandon ou en travaux. Et nous qui errons dans la chaleur, en suivant des panneaux qui nous promettent des glaces et d’autres un cafe, qui n’existent nul part! Je ne comprends pas le concept. La vue sur Florence est quasi nulle. Bref, à éviter.

Agréable jardin un peu plus excentré du centre ville, qui nous offre une très belle vue d'ensemble sur la ville

Une bouffée d’air pur
Après une première visite de Florence sans avoir eu le temps de visiter ce jardin, la seconde étape a été l’occasion. IMMENSE balade, magnifique, u peu comparable aux jardins de Versailles, agréable et ravissement pour les yeux.

Le jardin boboli est situé derrière le palais Pitti. C'est un très joli jardin botanique qui invite à la détente. Pour 10€, vous aurez la possibilité de visiter ce jardin mais aussi le jardin Bardini qui est situé à quelques mètres.
Petit bémol : d'après moi, ce jardin est agréable mais il y a peu d'explications sur les espèces présentes et sur l'histoire de ce jardin. Néanmoins, j'ai apprécié m'y promener.
