Giardini Antonio Caponnetto

Such a beautiful, tranquil park. During the fall the trees are covered in warm colors. There is a dog park, a bike road, walking paths and areas with small ramps and levels thru the trees. So relaxing to walk around here.
If you’re looking to extract yourself from the busy center for a bit and have a different type of hang out, come to this park’s little caffe bar to grab a beer in the summer, some wine, or a coffee in winter and sit in the comfy chairs overlooking the sunset on the Arno!
There is an area dedicated for me, with swings and slides. Also there happen to be some children stealing my spot in the swings from time to time ;) And of course you might get to see the occasional homeless in the further end part of the park setting up camp for the night that you can cuddle with if you had too much wine.
It is these little lungs in Florence that help you have a break away from the concrete jungle if you want a little bit of nature not too far of a walk from the center.
