Top 5 Botanical Gardens in Italy

Via Antonio Fogazzaro, 14, 22010 Oria CO, Italy

“A visit to the ancien holiday maison of an Italian influential writer, which was lately used by his grandson Marquis Roi - a great collector of cigars, board games, books,….a lover of symmetric decoration,….gives us an insight of of the intellectual and bourgeois class of the 19th and 20th century. That inspires me a lot. The visit was accompanied by a friendly guide just a little regrets of not having enough time to wandering and looking more in detail the books, the furnitures the decorations there.”

SS33 del Sempione, 37, 20015 San Lorenzo di Parabiago MI, Italy

“We really liked this Bonsai museum & shop. Found it by chance and had a nice time.”

Via S. Pietro, 37010 Località Campo, Brenzone sul Garda VR, Italy

“Great hiking experience in a desolate medieval city.”

86071 Castel San Vincenzo, Province of Isernia, Italy

“Beautiful, great place. A bar is nearby.”

Località Lago Santo, 3, 43021 Corniglio PR, Italy

“The location is simply splendid, especially in winter when the lake is frozen and everything is white with snow. the refuge is very welcoming and the food is delicious (it is advisable to book to be sure to find a table). It is also possible to sleep in the rifugio: it’s a special experience. From the lake starts a path going to the mountain ridge. The rifugio is accessible via a 1 hour walk from the car parking, or by chairlift.”

Punta Gnifetti, m. 4554, 13021 Alagna Valsesia VC, Italy

“Best hut in the alps! Last stop on Spaghetti tour, super nice service, unbeatable location. The dinner was rather a super nice feast with spare ribs, roasted potatoes etc.”

Via Roma, 79, 56011 Calci PI, Italy

“Nice to visit, but if you are a non Italian speaker, you pay full fee and get no service. The guide isn't bothered by non Italians who have to glare at one (English) one pager 🤫 Not very religious for such a religious place 😇”

Piazza Papadopoli, 2, 31020 San Polo di Piave TV, Italy

“This place is amazing. You need to pay to visit the park and/or the castle, but it is totally worth it. You can take the little boat and paddle among the water lilies. There are some spots for great pictures. The park and the castle is very well maintained and if you take the castle tour, you'll learn some interesting stuff about it's long history. Last but not least, the wine tasting is awesome.”

Via Antonio Gramsci, 74, 00197 Roma RM, Italy

“With its humble and authentic feel Japanese Institute of Culture has you wrapped in the oriental spirit as soon as you enter the gate. Exhibitions and events, bookshop and beautiful garden are yours to experiment.”

Via del Giubileo Magno, 90015 Gibilmanna PA, Italy

“A place to relax a bit”

Piazza Manfredo Fanti, 47, 00185 Roma RM, Italy

“We had a couple of hours of waiting time till our train would leave so we decided to sit in the little park in the shade. After a while we learned that the inside of the historical building houses different FREE art exhibitions which we promptly visited. The staff there was very nice and helpful, the guards outside are also very nice and helpful even given the language barrier. The cafe is very reasonably priced and toilets in the basement are free and clean as well which is a very nice touch. On a saturday noon it was also barely visited which was very surprising given how pretty the building and park are and the location. If you want to get away from the crowds or like us have some time to kill and dont feel like wandering far from the train station definitely pay this a visit!”

Via Vittorio Emanuele, 42, 50041 Calenzano FI, Italy

“Great venue. We went there for a Christmas staff party and it’s very well organized. The karts are electric powered and can reach good speed. Would totally recommend this place for a fun night!”

Via Aniello Falcone, 249, 80127 Napoli NA, Italy

“The best meal I've ever had! We had full course meal with an incredible appetizer, homemade pasta with shellfish, an unbelievable seafood platter, tiramisu, limoncello and great house wine outdoors by the sea!”

Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, 6, 50066 Leccio FI, Italy

“Beautiful building from the outside, given that it is not possible to visit the whole thing... a great shame.”

Via Privata Montagu, 9, 17021 Alassio SV, Italy

“It is a really beautiful place. The flowers and the plants are organized is a creative way. Some practical information: there are only guided tours hourly, last one in the morning at 11.30, in the afternoon at 15.00 and at 17.00. Check the website for reservations. You cannot park at the garden so you have to find a place down in the city which is not easy. Than take a walk upstairs:) worth the visit, it is actually a must have!”

Via Irnerio, 42, 40126 Bologna BO, Italy

“It's a precious little botanical garden! I was passing through the street and I went there to take a break. Everything was so peaceful and relaxing. I enjoyed a little fountain at the entrance and this big old tree for a fun photo. I totally recommend going there, especially when there aren't any contractions going on.”

Via Principe Umberto, 07026 Olbia SS, Italy

“The views are spectacular but it seems pricey at €10 for just 3 revolutions. Also when we were going round there was an alarming bang around 3/4 round each time. Nothing happened but when you’re that high in the air, any noise is a little concerning.”

SS Domitiana Km. 20, 81034 Mondragone CE, Italy

“I really liked this place. You can play with dogs, however i don't reccomend going there on crowded days if you want to play with a dog that is not yours. The reasoning behind that is- that when there are too many people, they cannot keep track of the dog that you are taking care of/playing with. All in all, I think this place is splendid.If you already have a dog, and you want your dog to encounter other dogs and build a bond, this is the place to be. Also, this place is perfect for a picnic too. The only thing I haven't enjoyed was that there was poop everywhere. Not welcoming? Nope! There are further more advantages to this place than disadvantages, so I would rate this place a 4 or 5.”

11022 Brusson, Aosta Valley, Italy

“A spectacular view from a mountaintop amidst the ruins of a castle. Amazing how people could have built such a thing in the middle ages and lived there. Worth visitung for the view and the experience”

Via delle Grotte, 2, 06039 Trevi PG, Italy

“Excellent spot”
