The Boboli Gardens By Madison Forsander

The Boboli Gardens are located about 30 minutes from the Duomo and just ten minutes from my beloved Gusta Pizza. Entrance is 10 Euro but it is absolutely worth it if you appreciate nature whatsoever. It has trees, shrubs, flowers, statues, a pond, an amphitheater and many beautiful buildings. My friend and I spent hours inside exploring and working on our creative writing projects under a shady tree. It is also quite hilly so it can appeal to anyone who enjoys hiking or a beautiful view of Florence from above. We also met a stray cat who is photographed below, and we lovingly named him Goliath because Florence already has a famous David. I attempted to “pour one out for a homie” and give Goliath some water seeing that it is a sticky 90 degrees but he was a bit skittish. But the adventures ended on a good note because he returned to say goodbye and gave us a great Breakfast Club-esque walk off.
