On our last full day in Verona, one of the last attractions we visited was Giardino Giusti. Listed…read moreas one of the top attractions in Verona on TripAdvisor, it's not to be missed! There is an entry fee or you can get a discount (if you visit enough spots) by purchasing a Verona card ahead of time. Giardino Giusti is a nice botanical garden. Like other botanical gardens I've visited, it's really all about taking in the beauty of nature. This will include well-manicured trees, plants, and maybe some animals. Giusti has a lot to see including statues and picturesque views of the city. There's also a labyrinth. I'm personally not a fan of them but it's one of the activities you can enjoy. There's even a ballet school for kids that has classes inside. Talk about a picturesque location for some ballet lessons! They give you a nice map with your entrance fee. Either follow it or wander around to check out all of the sights.

Totally worth the visit. You have access to the garden and grand upstairs rooms. My fav was the…read moreHorseshoe Room, all the furniture had horseshoe elements. Thank you Giusti family for showing off your high ceiling rooms, furniture, artwork, frescos, and extensive collections. It's about a 15 minute walk from the Arena, across the scenic river.

I was groped and forced into the bathroom by the man working there while waiting for my friend. Had to scream to get away. Truly traumatized. I've been living in Florence for 6 months and never felt that un safe. The sad truth I have to leave reviews to warn people because I don't know what the staff will do after I informed them. Be safe.

Everyone hypes about Piazzale Michelangelo or the San Miniato church, but this rose garden is…read moreliterally right behind these tourist magnets and yet offers the same stunning view of Florence except in a much more lovelier setting! Welcome to Florence's city rose garden! Located downhill of Piazzale Michelangelo, this is an easy walk down to quickly escape the crowd. In fact, if you are hardcore and are trekking to the Piazzale on foot from the San Niccolo neighborhood, why not take the more scenic route through this rose garden. Sure it's not well-manicured like a palace garden but it's free to enter and is still decently maintained enough to have roses blossom around you! Most likely, Piazzale Michelangelo that you are heading or coming from is filled with a huge crowd, so take a quick breather here and experience the Florence skyline in a less-stressful and more floral way! --- tl;dr version: 1) Located downhill of Piazzale Michelangelo with almost equal skyline view 2) Perfect scenic route if you are trekking to the Piazzale 3) Much less crowded and more beautiful than the Piazzale

You can also seat in my seating area to enjoy the view and garden. But I do not think is a destination for short travel to italy, many other places that I have visited in italy is much more beautiful than this one. I have visited this as package with Pinocchio park. One visit is ok but definitely not twice in any of these park. They are small and can be done in less than two hours. Although I got nice pictures.

It is included on the FirenzeCard and was well worth making a couple of trips back to catch the open hours. The flowers were beautiful even in late fall. The giant lily pads were amazing too! We enjoyed walking around and then just sitting and relaxing a bit in between museums. Don't miss this somewhat hidden gem in Florence!
