Step into the Giardino dei Semplici, the University of Florence's quiet botanical garden near the centre. Follow its paths past large trees, duck into the hot houses and enjoy the calm.

📖

Full description

The Orto Botanico Giardino dei Semplici is the University of Florence's botanical garden, a long-established, quiet space close to the centre with a tram stop nearby. Visitors find walking paths, several hot houses, a fountain and a wide variety of trees, some very large, with helpful plant descriptions.

It is small rather than sprawling, so it suits a one-hour visit. A combined pass is available that also covers the university's other museums.

The garden is closed on Mondays, and some visitors wish for more benches.

Reviews

The oldest botanical garden! It is very small, not much to see, but the feeling is great. As a botanical garden enthusiast I was very excited. It is quite, pretty much central, tram station very near, many benches (also with shadows).
