Florence, Italy

About Piazzale Michelangelo

The finest panoramic viewpoint in Florence — a terraced square above the Oltrarno with an unobstructed view of the entire city: the Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio, the Arno, and the Tuscan hills beyond. The sunset here is one of the great moments available to any solo traveler in Europe.

Boboli Gardens

The great Renaissance garden behind Palazzo Pitti — 45,000 square meters of box hedges, fountains, grottos, and outdoor sculpture extending up the hillside behind the palace. The Bacchus fountain and the Buontalenti Grotto are among the most extraordinary garden features in Italy.

Bardini Garden

Florence's best-kept secret garden — a steep hillside terraced garden above the Oltrarno with the finest wisteria pergola in Tuscany (spectacular in April-May), panoramic city views, and a fraction of the visitors of the Boboli Gardens next door.
