Boboli Gardens

I met a friend this afternoon with every intention of exploring all that the city of Florence has to offer. That was a bit ambitious, to say the least. We did not come close to canvasing the entire city, but we were able to see a few highlights.

Notably, we toured the Giardini di Boboli (Boboli Gardens). Absolutely breathtaking! It was fairly hot outside, which put a bit of a damper on the experience. I'm hoping to tour the Gardens again once the weather is a bit cooler.

As part of our tuition for L'Accademia Europea di Firenze we received a museum pass. As a "friend of the Uffitzi," I gain entrance to many many museums:

• Galleria degli Uffizi (entrance n. “2”)
• Galleria dell’Accademia
• Palazzo Pitti
• Galleria Palatina
• Galleria dell’Arte Moderna
• Galleria del Costume
• Museo degli Argenti
• Museo delle Porcellane
• Giardino di Boboli
• Museo Nazionale del Bargello
• Museo delle Cappelle Medicee
• Museo di Palazzo Davanzati
• Museo di San Marco
• Giardino della Villa Medicea di Castello
• Villa Medicea della Petraia
• Villa Medicea di Poggio a Caiano
• Villa Medicea di Cerreto Guidi e Museo storico della Caccia e del Territorio
• Cenacolo di Ognissanti
• Cenacolo di Andrea del Sarto
• Cenacolo di Fuligno
• Cenacolo di Sant’Apollonia
• Chiostro dello Scalzo

Though I wanted to visit lots of museums during my semester in Florence, having this card will certainly motivate me to go!
