Alter Botanischer Garten, Botanical garden in central Munich, Germany.

The Alter Botanischer Garten features native and exotic trees surrounding a central Neptune fountain within a carefully structured landscape design.

Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell created this garden in 1804 as Munich's first scientific botanical institution, which operated until its relocation to Nymphenburg in 1914.

The garden includes an artistic pavilion that hosts regular exhibitions and events, contributing to Munich's cultural programs throughout the year.

Located near Munich's main train station, the garden offers a park café with a beer garden where visitors can bring their own food.

The entrance gate, built by Emanuel Herigoyen, represents one of the few remaining early Classicist structures from the garden's founding period.
