Discover Florence without the wait. Start at the Boboli Gardens, explore hidden workshops, savor the best lampredotto, and finish with the most delicious gelato in the city. This itinerary combines art, tradition, and flavor, offering you an authentic and unforgettable experience.
Begin your artistic journey in Florence, where Julia Markert from Hamburg has discovered her creative home. In her studio on Via Romana, near the Boboli Gardens, the tradition of frame-making and gilding comes to life. Each frame, crafted using authentic methods, is a unique work of art and a symbol of international excellence.
Julia Markert is open daily from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM. Closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
Continue your journey with an unmissable stop. Lapo Bolognesi, a former art restorer and hip hop dancer, has turned his passion for offal into an art form. At his kiosk, 'I Trippaio di Firenze,' every lampredotto sandwich is a masterpiece that blends tradition and innovation, paying tribute to the authentic flavors of Florence.
The Trippaio di Firenze welcomes its guests from Tuesday to Sunday, from 11:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
Imagine stepping through a hidden doorway and finding yourself immersed in the Boboli Gardens, a hidden gem behind the majestic Palazzo Pitti. Entering through the secondary entrance not only allows you to skip the almost always present line at the main entrance, but also lets you experience the garden from its most enchanting perspective. This historic garden in Florence, spanning 45,000 square meters, is an open-air museum that inspired the gardens of Versailles. With its statues, fountains, and ancient grottos, every corner tells a story, making this experience truly unique.
The Boboli Gardens welcome visitors from January to February and November to December, from 8:15 AM to 4:30 PM. During the other months, closing time is at 6:30 PM.
Immerse yourself in the magnificence of the Renaissance by visiting Palazzo Pitti, an architectural gem in the heart of Florence. Designed by Brunelleschi and expanded by Ammannati, the palace boasts sumptuous interiors and an invaluable art collection. Discover the Boboli Gardens, a landscape masterpiece that enhances the experience.
Palazzo Pitti welcomes visitors daily from 8:15 AM to 6:30 PM, except on Mondays when it is closed.
As we continue our journey, we discover the Casa della Stampa on Via Sdrucciolo de' Pitti. Here, Lorenzo Sarubbi and his mother, who is over ninety years old, transform old manuscripts into fine art lithographs. Each print is a unique piece, as they use ancient manuscripts and documents, offering a dive into the past that celebrates Florentine tradition with passion and skill.
Casa della Stampa is open daily from 10 AM to 6 PM, but may close on certain days for essential work.
