Pitti Palace & Boboli Gardens Ticket + Audio Guide 2026
This is a combined reserved-entry ticket covering both Pitti Palace’s museums and the Boboli Gardens on one booking, with a downloadable Florence city audio guide included. It costs around €22 at the gate or €25 online in 2026, is valid for one day, and holds a 4.4-star rating from more than 1,250 reviews. It does not include a live guide, and the audio guide covers the city rather than the garden itself.
Boboli Gardens and Pitti Palace sit on the same site in the Oltrarno, so many visitors want to see the Medici galleries and the garden in a single trip. This combined ticket does exactly that: it bundles reserved, timed entry to both, saving you from buying two separate tickets and giving you a full day inside the Pitti complex.
This guide explains what the combined ticket actually includes, how the audio guide works, what it costs in 2026, and how it compares with a garden-only ticket or a guided tour.

What’s Included in the Combined Ticket
The ticket covers reserved entry to the Pitti Palace museums — the Palatine Gallery, the Royal Apartments, the Gallery of Modern Art and more — plus the Boboli Gardens and Bardini Gardens on the same booking. A downloadable Florence city audio guide is added on top. It does not include a live guide, and the audio guide is a general city commentary rather than a garden-specific tour.
The value here is the combination. On one timed booking you get the interior museums of Pitti Palace, led by the Palatine Gallery’s Raphaels and Titians, and the whole open-air circuit of the Boboli Gardens behind it, including the Bardini Gardens. If you only want the garden, a cheaper Boboli entry ticket covers Boboli, Bardini and the Porcelain Museum without the palace interior.
Be clear on what the audio element is. It is a downloadable Florence city audio guide rather than a room-by-room or garden-by-garden commentary, so treat it as a bonus for wandering the streets rather than a substitute for a guided tour of the collections.

Buy This TicketYou collect your entry at Palazzo Pitti, Piazza de’ Pitti, where the current access is via the side entrance through the Cortile della Dispensa. Show your voucher with its confirmed entry time. If you’d rather have the history explained in person, compare the Pitti Palace and Boboli guided tour, which walks you through the Palatine Gallery and the garden with a live guide.
Is the Combined Ticket Worth It?
If you plan to see both Pitti Palace’s museums and the Boboli Gardens, the combined ticket is worth it: buying them together costs about €25 online, close to the price of the two separate tickets, and puts both reserved slots on one voucher. If you only want the garden, it isn’t — a garden-only ticket is far cheaper at around €13 online.
The math is simple. A combined Pitti and Boboli ticket runs about €22 at the gate or €25 online in 2026, versus roughly €13 online for the garden alone. So the extra you pay buys the palace museums, which are substantial: the Palatine Gallery is one of Florence’s richest picture galleries. If a rainy afternoon or an art-focused itinerary is on the cards, the combined ticket earns its price. For a full breakdown of every option, see our Boboli ticket prices guide.
Planning Your Visit
Boboli is large, hilly and mostly unshaded, so pair the indoor galleries with the garden thoughtfully — galleries in the heat of the day, garden in the cooler morning or late afternoon. The combined ticket is valid for one day, and last admission to the garden is one hour before closing, which shifts by season. Check the current timings in our opening hours guide before you book a slot, and confirm the current price on the official Uffizi Galleries site, since prices can change.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the combined Pitti Palace and Boboli ticket include?
It covers reserved, timed entry to the Pitti Palace museums — the Palatine Gallery, Royal Apartments, Gallery of Modern Art, Museum of Costume and Fashion and the Treasury of the Grand Dukes — plus the Boboli Gardens and Bardini Gardens on the same booking. A downloadable Florence city audio guide is included. It does not come with a live guide.
How much does it cost in 2026?
A combined Pitti Palace and Boboli ticket is around €22 at the gate or €25 online for a reserved slot in 2026. Under-18s enter free and EU citizens aged 18 to 25 pay a reduced rate. Prices are set by the Uffizi Galleries and can change, so confirm the current figure when you book.
Is the audio guide a garden tour?
No. The included audio guide is a downloadable Florence city commentary, not a room-by-room or garden-specific tour. It’s a useful extra for exploring the streets of Florence, but if you want the garden’s grotto, fountains and sculptures explained as you walk, consider the audio-app version of the Boboli entry ticket or a guided tour.
Does the ticket include the Palatine Gallery?
Yes. The Palatine Gallery is the centerpiece of the Pitti Palace museums and is covered by this combined ticket, along with the Royal Apartments and the palace’s other collections. This is the main reason to choose the combined ticket over a garden-only entry, since the Palatine Gallery is not accessible on a Boboli garden ticket.
How long should I allow?
Give yourself half a day at least. The Pitti Palace museums reward an hour or two on their own, and the Boboli Gardens need two to three hours to walk properly, more if you add the Bardini Gardens. Our guide on how long to spend helps you plan the pace across both.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
No. This ticket is non-refundable and rescheduling is not possible, so only book a date and time you’re confident of. If your plans might change, a guided tour with free cancellation is a more flexible, if pricier, alternative.
Where do I enter?
You enter at Palazzo Pitti on Piazza de’ Pitti, currently via the side entrance through the Cortile della Dispensa. Show your voucher with its confirmed entry time. From there you can reach the Boboli Gardens through the palace courtyard. It’s about a 10-minute walk from Ponte Vecchio — see our how to get there guide.
Is Boboli ever free with this ticket?
The combined ticket is a paid product, but the first Sunday of every month is free for all visitors across the state museums, with no booking. On those days you don’t need to buy in advance, though queues are longer. Under-18s are always free. See our free admission guide for who qualifies.
