Orti del Parnaso

4.6 ·

Escape the crowds at Orti del Parnaso, a peaceful hillside garden above the city. Walk up to the viewpoint and look out over Florence's rooftops in near-total calm.

📖

Full description

Orti del Parnaso is a free hillside green space with a panoramic view across Florence, positioned as a calmer alternative to the busier viewpoints. Reviewers describe it as tranquil and far less touristy, ideal for stepping away from the bustle of the centre.

It opens early in the morning and stays open until evening, which suits sunrise or end-of-day visits. Allow about 45 minutes for the walk up and some time lingering with the view.

Reviews

Nice and calm view point. It’s not as breathtaking as Piazzale Michelangelo, but it’s by far more tranquil!
