Review of Florence’s Pitti Palace, Boboli and Bardini Gardens ticket, with audio guide advice, value tips, access details, and honest drawbacks.
“The Pitti Palace and its paintings and art treasures are very worth a visit. Visiting the Boboli Garden, on the other hand, is a waste of time and money in my opinion. Path surfaces partly washed out and partly filled with brick debris, no manicured lawns and virtually no beds and flowers. Simply shrubs and greenery without a garden structure, as you would imagine with a castle garden or similar.Auto-translated”
