gardens

The Oltrarno boasts some of the most beautiful gardens in the city — and perhaps the world! Here, you’ll find one of Europe’s best known and most deeply appreciated Italian Gardens. The Boboli Gardens and its overlooking hillside dominate Florence. This open-air museum constitutes a lovely frame for the entire quarter. The area’s iris and rose gardens delight visitors each spring with their stunning natural beauty. Nature lovers should also visit the Torrigiani Garden, wedged between the the Oltrarno’s ancient walls and its historic streets.
