Our Local Experts say:

Most of Parks and Gardens in Florence were belonging to important families of the past and have been decorated in the fashion of their times with beautiful statues and basins. Free access for most, others are treasures to discover.

The best times to visit are obviously Spring and Summer when trees and flowers will be in fool bloom. But our Summers are usually long and September is still a beautiful month to wander around Florence beautiful parks and gardens.
