Botanical Garden of the University of Debrecen
Debreceni Egyetem Botanikus Kert
A botanical garden north of the university main building, with greenhouses and thousands of plant species; a quiet spot that pairs well with a visit to the main building.
The Botanical Garden of the University of Debrecen was established in 1927. It covers about 9 hectares and houses a collection of roughly 5,000 plant species, including a tropical greenhouse, a succulent house, a rock garden and a section of native Hungarian plants. It is at its most beautiful in spring, when the flowers are in bloom. It sits right beside the university main building and is an easy detour during a walk in Nagyerdő Park. Tickets cost about 1,000–1,500 forints, and greenhouse opening times are limited and shorter in winter.
Opening hours
About 08:00–16:00 (different hours on weekends)
