📖

Full description

Hortus Botanicus is a compact botanical garden in Amsterdam-Centrum, originally planted in 1682, combining formal outdoor sections with greenhouses. Visitors single out the tropical greenhouse for its lush plants and atmosphere, and describe a wide variety of species from around the world arranged in a quiet, calm setting that contrasts with the busy streets nearby.

Bees and butterflies add life in warmer months. It is a paid entry at a mid-range price, open daytime hours, and about ninety minutes suits a thorough, unhurried visit.

Definitely make this stop if you’re considering it. Huge variety of plants from around the world, organized beautifully in a quiet, peaceful setting. Great respite from the busy city. Everywhere you look, there’s something interesting! There’s also a little cafe where you can hang out and rest once you’re done…
