About this experience

What to Expect
Royal Promenade
Pitti is perhaps the largest and most magnificent palace in Florence. It's hard to believe that this huge museum once served as the home to the great Dukes of Tuscany and Italian kings. Strolling through the square, marveling at the Quattrocento architecture while listening to entertaining stories about the palace's construction, you will immerse yourself in the atmosphere of luxury and the measured life of the great Italian dynasties. We will walk through the Boboli Gardens, reach the secret grottoes through vine-covered alleys, discover elegant statues and fountains, and also visit the amphitheater where all festivals and ceremonies took place.
Treasures Behind Lacy Doors
