Pitti Palace & Boboli Gardens Ticket Review

If you're an art enthusiast heading to Florence, limiting your visit to just the Uffizi Gallery would be a huge miss!

The Pitti Palace houses an incredible collection of artworks, and stepping out into the Boboli Gardens offers breathtaking panoramic views of Florence's cityscape. The landscaping there is truly magnificent!

Purchasing a combined ticket with the Uffizi Gallery can make your visit much smoother. Below, I’ll share how to buy tickets and my personal review of these stunning attractions. :)

How to Purchase Tickets

Florence has several iconic spots worth exploring, and using a multi-attraction pass is often the smartest way to go. It’s usually far more economical than booking each ticket individually!

The most popular option is the 5-day combined pass, which grants you access to the Uffizi Gallery + Pitti Palace + Boboli Gardens. You can visit all three freely over five days.

(A quick heads-up: your visit to the Uffizi Gallery must be on the first day the pass is activated, so plan your itinerary around that!)

When you're planning your trip to Italy and looking for admission tickets, always compare prices between the official sites and platforms like Trip.com.

I usually compare all options before making a purchase, and I've often found tickets to be surprisingly affordable on Trip.com (for places like the Colosseum, Uffizi, etc.). Plus, the option to book in English is a huge bonus! This was also true for the 5-day combined pass and individual Pitti Palace tickets.

Good to Know Before You Go

Both the Uffizi Gallery and Pitti Palace are closed on Mondays! (The Boboli Gardens remain open).

If your 5-day pass starts on a Monday, and you visit the Uffizi first (which is required to activate the pass), don't worry – your pass duration will simply be extended by one day to account for the closure. Smart, right? :)

Important information for visiting Pitti Palace

Keep in mind that overly revealing clothing is not permitted for entry. Food is also prohibited, though you are allowed to bring water.

When taking photos, remember no flash and no selfie sticks. Also, any large bags or backpacks will need to be checked at the cloakroom before you enter!

Pitti Palace: A Visitor's Guide

The Pitti Palace was originally the residence of the Pitti family, but later became the main home of the powerful Medici family. This means you get to experience the incredible art collections amassed by both influential dynasties!

Honestly, I hadn't expected such an extensive collection, but once inside, I was truly amazed by the palace's sheer grandeur and opulent decoration.

Each room boasts diverse artworks and unique atmospheres, captivating even my untrained eye.

View of Florence from Pitti Palace window

The views of Florence from the palace windows are also incredibly charming! If you explore in detail, the Pitti Palace could take around 2-3 hours. For a more casual visit, like mine, plan for about 1-2 hours.

The Boboli Gardens are absolutely perfect for a leisurely stroll. With lush greenery and meticulously trimmed trees, they embody that quintessential European garden charm!

Since the gardens are directly connected to the Pitti Palace, I headed there right after. If you're still adjusting to the time difference in the morning, a peaceful walk here would be an ideal start to your day.

I visited during Europe's heatwave this year (2026), so I only explored a small portion of the Boboli Gardens. They're quite expansive, so I highly recommend allowing ample time for your visit. Bringing a parasol or sunglasses is also a great idea to combat the sun!
