Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in District VIII, Budapest, Hungary.
The Botanical Garden is a park containing thousands of plant species spread across expansive grounds in central Budapest. The site includes several greenhouses of varying sizes where plants from different climates are cultivated.
The institution was founded in the late 1700s as a teaching and research center for medical education. After relocating several times, it found its current home in the mid-1800s, where it has continued to develop since.
The place holds a special place in local literature and storytelling, featuring in works that shaped generations of readers. The old greenhouse structures have become symbolic sites that draw visitors interested in exploring these literary connections.
The garden is open to visitors on most days and offers various pathways to explore the grounds. Guided tours help visitors understand the collection better and learn more about the cultivated plants.
A special greenhouse was built in the 1890s specifically to house a rare South American water plant. This structure was the first of its kind in the region and demonstrates the site's commitment to rare botany.
