Parks · Cascine / north bank of the Arno
Florence's largest public park, stretching about 3.5 km along the northern bank of the Arno with tree-lined avenues, open lawns and riverside paths. It contains designated fenced dog areas (aree cani) and is where Florentine dog owners gather every morning.
The combination of long shaded avenues, open meadows and official off-leash zones makes it the single best park in Florence for dogs.
Dogs must be leashed except inside the marked, fenced aree cani; leash length limit is 1.5 m on public streets. The Tuesday Mercato delle Cascine runs along the park edge. Free entry with no published closing time.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
