"Palazzo Pitti and Boboli Gardens was once where the Medici family lived. Built in 1457 and designed by Brunelleschi, the building is now a museum with numerous wings and galleries—and more than 500 Renaissance paintings alone—along with the back property, known as Boboli Gardens. The collection also includes modern art, a silver museum, and the Royal Apartments with period furnishings. Between the palace, all the museums, and Boboli, you could easily spend all day here." - Bridget Arsenault
