Botanical Garden of Zagreb
Botanički vrt
An English-style garden at the southern end of the horseshoe of parks, with a water lily pond, a Japanese footbridge, and thousands of plant species.
The Botanical Garden was founded in 1889 and belongs to the University of Zagreb. It covers about 5 hectares and includes an English landscape garden, a formal French garden, greenhouses, and a water lily pond, with about 10,000 plant species. The garden is quiet and shady, making it a good place to rest near the train station. Admission is free. The garden is closed in winter (roughly November to March), and it may be closed on Monday mornings, so check the notices.
Opening hours
April–October, approx. 9:00 am–7:00 pm
