Botanical Garden of Chișinău
Grădina Botanică
A research botanical garden covering about 100 hectares, with a rose garden, greenhouses and lakes. Flowers peak in spring.
Managed by the Moldovan Academy of Sciences, the garden includes a rose garden, a lilac garden, greenhouses, a mountain plant area and several small lakes. Spring and summer are the peak flowering seasons, and autumn brings colorful foliage. Admission is very cheap, though the greenhouses cost extra. The grounds are large, so wear comfortable shoes. It's in the Botanica district southeast of the city. You can reach it by trolleybus or taxi in about 20 minutes, and it's best scheduled separately from Valea Morilor Park.
