The Pitti Palace was an exceptional experience. We loved the history, art and particularly the costume gallery. As older visitors our legs did not appreciate the Bobboli Gardens.

Luckily I had booked tickets for a 5-day pass to Florence! We weren't the only ones who wanted to visit the Uffizi Gallery!!!! Very crowded, so having skip-the-line tickets is a real plus to make the most of the museums. What a pleasure, despite the crowd, to enjoy this magnificent place, to see the originals of all these master paintings and sculptures! It is essential to see them in real life, to see the brushstrokes, the softness of the marble, the amazing ceilings!!!! Without the skip-the-line tickets, with the heat, I don't know if we would have been able to visit it... I didn't get the skip-the-line ticket for the Duomo Cathedral and the incredible line in front of the building made us give up on the visit. The Pitti Palace! Another must-see wonder! The frescoes, the ceilings, the paintings, the atmosphere of the furnished rooms to discover, the magnificent chandeliers... everything is enchanting! Just one small hitch! The Boboli Gardens... luckily seen a few years ago. It is undergoing renovations, many sculptures are wrapped up, the noise of machinery, and the oppressive heat in the early afternoon (35° nonetheless) made us turn back after a few attempts to go up the paths, which are really very steep! We are returning delighted from our one-week stay in Florence 🙂 Have a great visit, future tourists... prepare your trip for the famous places that attract a lot of people and let yourself be swept away by the incredible surprises that this beautiful city offers us 🙂!

OMG there's not a corner without something gorgeous, sumptuous, sublime, or just plain beautiful!! The wall coverings, ceilings, floors, and the vast collection of paintings, sculptures, artifacts, porcelain vases, and more, are altogether and on their own, worth your time and rapt attention. Signage is very useful, it describes the rooms, the art within, and historical aspects. I loved the costume & fashion rooms! Be sure to go to the top of Boboli Gardens too, the view at the top & paths there are wonders!

The Palace was so much bigger than I expected. The rooms were decadent and the paintings were amazing. We didn't explore the gardens very much, it was an incredibly hot day and the gardens are very steep- something to consider if you are coming in the summer or do not have good mobility. There was also a lot of conservation work going on so much of the garden area just outside the palace was under wraps which was a shame as it would have been beautiful. Recommend visiting but not with young children.

It was great that we could prepare for our visit to the Pitti Palace in advance with the audio guide! Unfortunately, the chronological order of the tracks did not match the route of the tour (probably due to the renovations in the palazzo). The Boboli Gardens are also not well-maintained, and there is a lack of seating. But the ticket delivery to my phone was on time and easy to use! That's why I'm giving it 5 stars!

Easy access, skipped most of the line. Amazing place, highlights were the white room and the friendly one-legged pigeon. Nice cafe, could do with more toilets.

A wonderful visit to Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens. It was a very hot day and we were really pleased with the hospitality area allowing us to cool down with refreshments. The refreshments were all reasonably priced and the service of the waiting staff were very good. We only visited the Palantine art gallery as my husband is not able to walk or stand for long. The art work was very interesting. It was wonderful to see the work from Camille Pisarro amongst others. Especially the sculpture by Pietro Tenerani - Psyche Abandoned- lots of beautiful sculptures to view. We visited the book shop and found some interesting prints. We would have bought some if there were art/ plan tubes to allow us to travel home in our suitcases. I did buy an interesting book about the Pitti Palace and the galleries which I was unable to view. Afterwards we went to view the Boboli gardens. Sadly we found the directions unhelpful. We did walk down to the Grotto which was really interesting. We were sadly disappointed as we were unable to find the rest of the gardens. There were no staff on hand to ask. After looking at my book of the Pitti Palace and Boboli gardens I found there were a great deal more to view of the gardens - such as the lily pond / pineapple garden and Island pond. I realise now we should have walked up the garden instead of down to the Grotto. Anyway I will say what we did see from our exit were the spectacular views across Florence and overall we were pleased to have made the trip to the Pitti Palace.
