Step by Step

Fall in love with Renaissance architecture and Italian art on a 3-hour tour of the Pitti Palace, the Palatine Gallery and the Boboli Garden. A professional guide will accompany you on the tour with a group of maximum 12 people, so you can learn all about the history of each place.

You will have access to the Palatine Gallery to see works of art by renowned Italian artists such as Raffaello, Titian, Artemisia Gentileschi, Van Dyck, Rubens, Caravaggio.

Some of the works you can find are:

  • Madonna of the Grand Duke: an Italian Renaissance oil painting by Raphael Sanzio.
  • The Portrait of Pietro Aretino: a portrait in oil on canvas from 1545 by Titian.
  • The Portrait of Cardinal Guido Bentivoglio: it was named as the "extraordinary Symphony of Rossi" and dates from about 1623.

You will also enter the ostentatious royal flats where lived one of the most renowned families of the Renaissance, the Medici who once chose the palace as their ducal residence.

At the Pitti Palace you will see the opulently decorated interior rooms and their different styles, which vary according to the family that lived there, such as the Pitti, Medici, Habsburg or Savoy families.

You can also stroll through the Boboli Garden, considered one of the most extensive gardens in Florence, which covers 45,000 square metres. You will appreciate the majesty of its fountains, marble statues, a small lake and the ancient amphitheatre.
