Florence offers numerous green spaces and
outdoor trails to enjoy with your four-legged friends. Historic gardens, urban
parks, scenic areas and riverside walks let you discover a different side of
the city - one that’s more laid-back and closer to nature.
Between the historic center and the hills surrounding Florence, you can
alternate moments of relaxation in
nature with itineraries that treat you to splendid views of the city. Many
of these places are dog-friendly and offer a pleasant opportunity to spend time
outdoors without straying too far from the heart of the city.

Just
a few kilometers from the center of Florence, the Medici Park of Pratolino, also known as Villa Demidoff, is
one of the most spectacular green areas in Tuscany. A UNESCO World Heritage
Site as part of the Medici Villas and Gardens complex, the park features large
lawns, woods, small lakes and the famous Apennine Colossus by Giambologna. The
wide-open spaces and trails surrounded by nature make it an ideal destination
for a walk with your dog, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
