Internal courtyard area of Pitti Palace with broad circulation space

Accessible travel here depends on route choice more than distance.

Surface and slope reality

Zone	Surface	Difficulty
Palace interiors	stone and polished floors	low to medium
Courtyard	broad and mostly even	low
Boboli upper lanes	gravel and slope	medium to high

Practical sequence

Start inside Pitti where logistics are easier.
Use courtyard breaks between sections.
Enter Boboli only with a pre-chosen low-slope path.

Comfort protocol

Confirm lift access at entry
Identify restroom locations early
Set planned bench/rest intervals

Energy budgeting is part of accessibility, not a personal failure.

Bottom line

A shorter adapted route can deliver the same cultural value with far less stress.
