Botanic Garden of the Jagiellonian University, Botanical garden of Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland.

The garden spans 9.6 hectares with sections dedicated to medicinal herbs, alpine plants, and multiple greenhouses containing tropical and subtropical specimens.

The garden features a 500-year-old oak tree and maintains Poland's oldest collection of cycads, with specimens gathered from Central and South American expeditions.
