Giardino Bardini

Terraced garden with Duomo and rooftops in one frame

Hours: Daily 10:00-19:30 (last entry 18:30). Closed first and last Monday of each month, 1 Jan, 1 May and 25 Dec. Hours may shift with the season
Tickets: Garden alone about €10 (reduced €5)
Address: About ten minutes on foot from Ponte Vecchio, on the slope above Boboli

Each terrace you climb drops the rooftops a little lower and slides the Duomo into the frame. The stone balustrade halfway up gives one of the best photo angles in the city. In April the wisteria tunnel hangs purple overhead. It is much smaller than Boboli, so an hour covers it.
