Jevremovac Botanical Garden
Ботаничка башта Јевремовац
A century-old botanical garden in the city centre, with an 1892 Victorian iron-and-glass greenhouse and a Japanese garden, an oasis of calm amid the bustle.
Jevremovac Botanical Garden was established in 1874. In 1889, King Milan I donated land for it to be moved to its current site and named it after his grandfather Jevrem. It now belongs to the Department of Biology of the University of Belgrade, covers about 5 hectares and cultivates over a thousand plant species. The most famous feature is the Victorian iron-and-glass greenhouse completed in 1892, which houses tropical and subtropical plants. The Japanese garden, added in 2004, has small bridges, ponds and cherry trees, and is especially popular in spring. Admission is about 300–400 dinars. The garden is generally open April to October and closed in winter, and greenhouse hours may be shorter, so check the official website. It lies northeast of Tašmajdan Park and about a 10-minute walk east of Skadarlija, making it ideal for a relaxed half-hour to one-hour stroll.
