How long should I spend at Boboli Gardens?

The ideal duration at Boboli Gardens is entirely up to you and what you want to experience! On average, visitors usually spend about 1.5 to 2 hours exploring. However, if you're an art aficionado or simply enjoy basking in lush greenery, why rush? You could easily lose track of time wandering through the majestic gardens and discovering hidden corners. So, prepare to dedicate an easy half-day for a complete experience of both the palace and the gardens.
