Botanischer Garten der Universität Zürich

This botanical garden, part of the University of Zurich, is a wonderfully peaceful and relaxing spot. The location is convenient as it is even possible to access it by foot from downtown. It offers a lovely place to spend the day. There are some footpaths through a wooded area and also some open sloping terrain as well. There is a pond that makes a lovely resting spot and a greenhouse that looked to contain several plants that were being cultivated. On a nice weather day, this is a great place to wander and enjoy the outdoors.

This free garden is a great value for what you receive! You'll see hundreds of plants both native and foreign. There are rooms serving as biomes like a desert area, a humid jungle, and a lowlands area. There are multiple restrooms and a cafetería available if you get hungry. You could easily spend an hour strolling or half a day learning in the gardens. Even though it's a free garden, I'd happily pay an admission price for entry.

Wow! I definitely didn't expect seeing this place in the middle of a winter wonderland. So cool to see these plants thrive in a temperature controlled dome. So many cool types of plants to see so give this free place a visit.

Anytime I travel, I think it's a nice break from the busy city views to check out what the botanical gardens has to offer. Zurich's botanical garden is really easy to get to and gives you a peaceful place to sit and relax. The greenhouse domes are also really interesting with each dome being a different climate. I went on a Friday afternoon and the place wasn't busy at all. Also free entry!!

This is another great place in the city to go when you feel like escaping the city. It's so relaxing and quiet here. Wonderful places to sit, in the sun or in the shade.

Come here to practice your photography skills, catch up on your reading, or have a picnic with your partner.

Also good for young children who like to explore and see new things. Make sure to take them to the lilly pads to search for frogs.

Small cafeteria onsite, perfect for a little lunch or afternoon snack. The garden is part of Zurich university, so there's also a large library on site.
