Parco delle Cascine

Parco delle Cascine is a large historic park in Florence, laid out as a long, narrow strip on the north bank of the Arno River. Covering 160 hectares, it stretches from the city centre to the point where the Mugnone flows into the Arno. It is a good place for a relaxed walk with a bit of open space close to the city.

Na miejscu można liczyć przede wszystkim na:

• A walk through a monumental park landscape that follows the river, with the Arno running along one side and the park extending in a long band through Florence.
• A sense of the site’s historical character, since Parco delle Cascine is described as both monumental and historical, not just a city green space.
• Easy access to a broad urban park setting that reaches from the centre of Florence all the way to the Mugnone’s confluence with the Arno.

If you want a simple outing in Florence, this is best enjoyed on comfortable shoes and in good weather, especially for a longer stroll. It suits visitors looking for a calm walk, a break from the city streets, or an easy stop close to the river.
