Take a tour of the Pitti Palace, and discover the extravagance of the Medici family, the de facto rulers of Renaissance Florence. As you explore the Palatine Gallery and the Royal Apartments, you’ll learn about the family’s power and see the impressive collection of art they amassed. Get an up-close look at works from Titian, Raphael and Rubens.
Visit the famous Boboli Gardens, an oasis in the heart of Florence, on a 1-hour guided tour of the Pitti Palace’s royal gardens. Built for Cosimo I de’ Medici in the 16th century, the gardens feature exquisite landscaping with a variety of plant life, fountains, and statues by master artists including Michelangelo, and sculptures dating from ancient Rome through the 17th century, making it a veritable open-air museum.
The Boboli Gardens hold an important collection of Renaissance statues and fountains. Notable works include “Bathing Venus” and “Fountain of the Ocean” sculpted by Giambologna, a copy of “The Prisoners” by Michelangelo, and a number of pieces by Buontalenti.
Choose between private or group guided tours.
