Stibbert Garden

This English-style park, shaded and eclectic, was redesigned in the 19th century by Frederick Stibbert, the passionate collector who lived in the adjacent villa. Stibbert filled his home with armor and treasures from the East and beyond, and left his touch on the garden too. Here you can discover a small neoclassical temple, a pond, and even an Egyptian-inspired temple.

Villa Fabbricotti Park

Beloved by Florentine families, this park is popular with children thanks to its play areas and vast lawns. The villa holds historical importance as well: Paolina Bonaparte, Napoleon’s sister, died here in 1825, and in the 19th century even Queen Victoria of England visited the grounds. Today, centuries-old cypresses and majestic trees make it a perfect place to walk, relax, and immerse yourself in nature.

Parnassus Gardens

From this garden, Florence unfolds before your eyes like a postcard: the grand dome of the Duomo, the tower of Palazzo Vecchio, and the many rooftops and towers of the city. The garden takes its name from a curious 19th-century detail—a whimsical dragon-shaped fountain tucked into its steps.

Horticulture Garden

Founded in 1854 as the headquarters of the Tuscan Horticultural Society, this garden was created to celebrate horticulture and landscape architecture in Tuscany. Its centerpiece is the Tepidarium, an extraordinary Art Nouveau greenhouse designed by Giacomo Roster, built of glass, iron, and cast iron to shelter exotic plants from the winter cold. Here, alongside ornamental flowers and fruit trees, you’ll also find a charming neo-Renaissance loggia decorated with colorful glazed terracotta.
