Parks und Gärten in der Toskana

Enchanting Gardens of Tuscany

Tuscany’s horticultural heritage spans from the formal geometry of Renaissance estates like the Boboli Gardens to the scientific collections of Europe’s oldest botanical research centers in Pisa and Florence. This selection features diverse green spaces, including the 16th-century fortifications of Lucca, now a public promenade, and surrealist sculpture parks like Niki de Saint Phalle’s Tarot Garden. These sites showcase panoramic viewpoints overlooking Florence, Baroque architectural elements at Palazzo Pfanner, and rare exotic species preserved within historic university gardens and private estates.
