Arboretum Zürich, Botanical garden and park in Zürich, Switzerland

The Arboretum spans 20 hectares along Lake Zurich, featuring collections of trees from Southern Switzerland, Japan, China, and the United States.

Engineer Arnold Bürkli established this lakeside park in 1887, transforming a medieval small town landscape into a modern city attraction.

The park earned the designation of class A Swiss cultural property of national significance, reflecting its contribution to Switzerland's natural heritage.

Visitors can reach the Arboretum using tram route 5 or bus lines 161 and 165, stopping at the Rentenanstalt station.

The park includes a veterinary hospital dedicated to treating injured wild birds, alongside a wooden bathhouse near the water.
