We spent a glorious day visiting the Pitti Palace, Boboli & Bardini gardens. The palace was spectacular - especially for its Art & exquisite ceilings. We enjoyed the costume & treasures museums too.

The museum visit was great. However, we had thought that the QR code was the actual ticket. So we had to go somewhere else from the entrance to the Uffizi to pick up the paper ticket. I actually wanted to avoid this, so I bought the tickets online beforehand. The office was difficult to find despite Google Maps. The Boboli Gardens are very run-down, overgrown and unkempt and not at all worth the entrance fee. A complete disappointment.

The total experience of the gardens was amazing and the views were unbelievable.
Only issue is that I booked skip the line tickets which when I arrived I needn't have bought due to there being no queues in either line.
Extra cost which if your website had details of how popular it is this would have been avoided.
Overall a stunning place to visit just a little feedback to improve the experience

We spent a very memorable day looking around the 33 hectares of formal gardens in the morning, a leisurely lunch in the Pitti Palace cafe, followed by an afternoon inside the palace itself - perfect in every way

Our guide was fabulous and i apologize for forgetting her name! About 55 with white hair and is very stylish. We moved at a very fast clip and she shared much history with us: from family structures, the growth of weath in families, the reason some stores are below ground level, the chapel that never got marble and is still simple brick, to the fish and meat processors once on the Vecchio Bridge. We finished up at the Piti Palace with the explanation of the original 7 windows.
I didn't make it to the Boboli Garden that day as I had already climbed the Dome at 8:15. I am going to go tomorrow!

We spent a glorious day visiting the Pitti Palace, Boboli & Bardini gardens. The palace was spectacular - especially for its Art & exquisite ceilings. We enjoyed the costume & treasures museums too. We finished our day walking through the gardens with a final cocktail on the Bardini terrace overlooking the whole city of Florence.

The visit to the Uffizi is stupendous. You need at least a full day to get even a sampling. But you need your own guide or guidebook because the layout of the galleries makes it hard to pick up a coherent thread. Even with the timed tickets there is quite a crowd. The Pitti Palace also has a lot to see, and again you'll need to have a guide or a book, but it is not nearly as crowded despite having many major works. The pickup of the tickets was very efficient once we found the office - there are three shops with number 10 on the same block.

We learnt so much about Florence history and it's people through our guide and the portraits throughout the palace. Such a beautiful gem! The gardens are magnificent and a pleasure to walk through on a hot day. Highly recommend!
