Botanical Garden

The Botanical Garden is a sprawling park near the Danube that houses thousands of plant species arranged in distinct collections and themed areas. The grounds include open-air sections, greenhouses with tropical and Mediterranean plants, and specialized zones dedicated to different plant families.

The garden was established in 1942 on land near a historic villa and has since grown into a scientific institution dedicated to plant research and conservation. Its development reflected growing interest in preserving botanical knowledge and protecting regional plant species.

The garden serves as a living repository of plant diversity, where visitors encounter species that have shaped the region's natural heritage. Walking through, you notice how this space bridges education and stewardship, connecting people with plants that matter to the land.

The garden is open during the warmer months and features both walking paths and covered areas for exploring in different weather conditions. Plan your visit for dry days when paths are easily navigable and the plants are most vibrant.

Beyond the main grounds, the institution operates specialized research facilities in separate locations focused on endangered species and plant breeding. These satellite stations allow for work that would be difficult to carry out within the main park.
