Botanical Garden of the University of Wrocław
Ogród Botaniczny Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego
A long-established botanic garden founded in 1811, next to Cathedral Island, with greenhouses, an alpine rock garden, a medicinal plant section, water lily ponds and many century-old trees.
The botanical garden lies on the north side of Cathedral Island. It has several greenhouses (including a palm house and a cactus house), an alpine rock garden, a section of medicinal plants and ponds with aquatic plants. In spring, rhododendrons and magnolias are in bloom, and from the large pond you can see the twin towers of the cathedral. It's a good place to relax between sightseeing in the old town. Admission is inexpensive. In winter it may close or open only the greenhouses.
Opening hours
