Tallinn Botanic Garden

The garden extends across 123 hectares along the Pirita River bank, containing more than 8,000 plant species in outdoor areas and greenhouses.

The garden opened on December 1, 1961, following a century of planning that began in the 1860s as part of the Estonian Academy of Sciences initiative.

The garden maintains a specialized library of botanical literature and hosts regular exhibitions, including the recent 'Visionary Hungarians' event at the Palm House.

Visitors can access the garden from May through September between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM, while winter hours run from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

The systematic outdoor collections, first opened in 1970, focus on plant acclimatization research and the integration of indigenous species into landscaping.
