Ljubljana Botanical Garden

The Ljubljana Botanical Garden is a green space holding thousands of different plant species arranged in various sections including a tree collection and glasshouses for tropical plants. The site displays plant diversity from different regions and climates in an organized manner.

The garden was founded in 1810 during French control of the region and remains one of the oldest continuously operating institutions of its kind in Slovenia. Since its establishment, the site has served to preserve plant knowledge and conduct scientific research.

The garden is a place where visitors encounter plants from different European climates and beyond, organized in specialized areas for study and exploration. People come here to observe diverse vegetation or spend time surrounded by greenery and flowering plants.

The garden is accessible daily, opening in the morning and closing depending on the season between late afternoon and early evening. Visitors should note that hours change with the seasons, so it makes sense to check exact times before visiting.

A large linden tree planted during the garden's founding in 1810 still grows on the grounds and reminds visitors of the site's long history. This tree is a rare witness to an institution spanning more than two centuries.
