Hortus Botanicus: Admission Ticket

Since 1638, this green oasis has established itself as one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world. Originally designed to cultivate medicinal herbs for apothecaries, this historic gem now preserves rare specimens and trees dating back several centuries. The route traverses contrasting microclimates: humid tropical greenhouses where majestic palms soar alongside arid pavilions dedicated to sculpted cacti. Each path highlights the vital importance of plants for medicine and sustainable development. Your admission includes entry to the entire thematic greenhouses, as well as a detailed map to navigate this exceptional living collection. It's a unique opportunity to observe global biodiversity at the heart of Amsterdam, within an institution that has shaped botanical science for almost four hundred years.
