    About this experience

    Boboli Garden is located behind Palazzo Pitti. With a timed entry ticket to the Boboli Gardens you will enter into the garden which is an integral part of the palace. Begun in 1549 by Tribolo for the Duchess Eleonora di Toledo, wife of Cosimo I de 'Medici, the garden had the function of adorning the exclusive palace in front, allowing it to fully grasp the spirit of court life, such work became exemplary for many other European courts. This vast green expanse is an oasis in the heart of Florence, representing a veritable open-air museum, populated by ancient and Renaissance statues, adorned with caves, above all that of Bernardo Buontalenti and large fountains, such as those of Neptune and Ocean. The successive dynasties of the Lorraine and the Savoys expanded its borders, which nowadays run along the ancient city walls up to Porta Romana. By purchasing this type of ticket, you will have the opportunity to additionally purchase the Pitti Palace ticket.

    Boboli

    Just go to the entrance, a lot less expensive and no line

    A bad deal

    You should buy your tickets through the offices website BEFORE you leave the US. This service charges twice the fee, requires that you meet a person in front of the gallery before your tour. It feels very sketchy. If you don't buy your tickets when I the US, you won't be able to create the account necessary to buy the tickets. The alternative is to waist in the ticket line the day of your tour. You can't buy tickets for other days in person. When you buy tickets in person, all parties must be present to buy tickets. They won't sell you tickets for others.

    Don’t Pass Up Palazzo Pitti and Boboli Gardens.

    Palazzo Pitti is amazing. It contains beautiful artwork and the ceilings are breathtaking. And Boboli Gardens Provide beautiful views of the city. There are many steps to climb in the palace, and surprisingly in the garden, too. But they are worth it.

    Bobbling gardens

    Getting to gardens was up very steep roads, but worth a visit. Got back by going through Pitti Palace.

    Disappointed

    I’m unhappy with Viator. I paid $81.83 for the tour for 2 people that I thought included a tour guide and skip the line. My tour was set for 1130 am and no one showed up. The man who worked at the line of pitti palace helped me by calling the agent. If he didn’t call the agent I would not have known there was NO tour guide ….so how was I supposed to enter with NO tickets?? The agent finally emailed them at 1145 am after the call. So I paid extra money for no guide and no audio…. And no skip the line. I could have bought those tickets there for only $50. Why would I use Viator???

    Timed Entry Ticket to the Boboli Gardens: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.

    How much does Timed Entry Ticket to the Boboli Gardens cost?

    +

    Prices start at $9 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Timed Entry Ticket to the Boboli Gardens take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.

    Is Timed Entry Ticket to the Boboli Gardens worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Timed Entry Ticket to the Boboli Gardens?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Timed Entry Ticket to the Boboli Gardens suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Timed Entry Ticket to the Boboli Gardens?

    +

    Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Timed Entry Ticket to the Boboli Gardens start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Florence?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Florence?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Florence?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
