Built in the 1400s, the Palazzo Pitti has been home to Florence’s high-society through most of its life – its wonders and decadence gated off from the general peoples living outside. But now its doors are open and inviting, welcoming you with open arms and eager to present the timeless splendor within.
A 3-hour guided tour through this two-floor grand palace will show you magnificent art at a scale beyond imaging. For among the historical works and sculptures, the Boboli gardens offer an exclusive experience: a stroll through one of the largest artistic landscapes in the world.
Fully immerse yourself – venturing deep into a key Italian historical landmark. Here, many more sculptures and other works of art await your curious spirit, the vibrant and luscious greens contrasting immaculate stone statues dating back to the 16th century. The very grass and trees themselves are a piece of art, working in tandem alongside the other masterworks to fill your eyes and ears with the breadth of Italy’s glorious history.
Within the Palazzo Pitti itself, you will find the Palatine Gallery, which houses over 500 pieces of authentic renaissance high art. It retains the exquisite feel of a private collection, with baroque architecture surrounding you on every side. Walk the halls of Florence’s elite, the same paths and hallways that individuals of the highest caliber once called home.
With the help of your guide, you will explore the Boboli Gardens, the Palatine Gallery, and so much more – made intimately aware of the historical depth each masterwork represents. Acting as the single largest museum complex in Florence, you will find no shortage of immaculate sculptures and incredible paintings.
