With one of the most beautiful views of the city, this spot is close to the famous Boboli Garden and - if you didn't know - there is a cumulative ticket to enter and visit both. I recommend it especially on sunny days, in spring for example, if you want to see wisterias in bloom. Stop at the cafeteria and have a cup of coffee while enjoying the Florence panorama!
