Brera Botanical Garden

4.3 ·

Slip into the Brera Botanical Garden, a hushed green pocket founded in 1774 in the heart of Milan. Wander its flowerbeds and ponds, then rest on a bench beneath the old trees of the arboretum.

📖

Full description

Tucked behind the Brera quarter, this botanical garden dates to 1774 and is run as a compact, cosy collection rather than a large park. Flowerbeds, ponds and an arboretum with centuries-old trees fill the grounds, and benches invite a slow sit among the plants.

Reviewers describe it as a haven from the heat and bustle of central Milan and a pleasant spot for couples. Its small size makes it an easy 45-minute stop, best suited to people who enjoy plants and quiet over big open lawns.

Reviews

The botanical gardens were a most beautiful haven in the midst of a hot bustling Milan. You should go out of your way to visit them if you can, the care and beauty of the collection is stunning. A captivating time in the botanical wonders of nature. Well done the team who care for this oasis of calm.
