Located in a beautiful Old building in the botanical gardens. Visited for Sunday brunch, which in my view is better described as a breakfast buffet. The compact buffet has nice choices of breads, some fruit, cereals and muesli. Nice selection of cheese and cold cuts. The egg and RÖSTI dishes are made to order. Taste and quality of the food is good and prices are average for Basel. It is a nice walk to get to the restaurant and the informal atmosphere and home made charm make this a good choice if you want a Sunday breakfast. Do make a reservation as they only have a few tables.

This garden is an absolute gem, deserving of a ten-star review. The vast space makes it a perfect place to unwind and connect with nature. The organisation of the garden is remarkable, with well-marked paths and informative signage that guides you through the various sections. My visit coincided with the iris blooming season (May), however Merian Gärten is a place of beauty throughout the year.

Garden is amazing but I have seen a couple of Aegyptian Goose in the pond. This is an invasive species which should be eliminated. They are aggressive with other ducks and birds and very territorial. They need to be removed inmediately. They will attack and kill other native ducks and their offspring.

Really beautiful park with a lot of different attractions in it including a Minigolf, restaurants, gardens, water fountains and some small trails. It's definitely worth a visit but the hole area does not allow dogs inside and it's a little bit far away from the city center

Really gorgeous gardens, with plenty of areas to walk around and plenty of seating, spread across the area. There is a restaurant, a café and toilets. It was busier than I thought it would be (obviously the photo doesn't show it), but it was a nice + relaxing atmosphere.

Die Merian Gärten sind ein großer, botanischer Garten am Stadtrand von Basel. Das Besonderen an dem Garten ist, dass er sehr viele Gärten vereint, und das an einem einzigen Platz: Rhododendrontal, englischer Garten, Trockenbiotop, Südfelder, Dyychufer, Bauerngarten, Ställe, Weiden, Brüglingen, Irismatte, Gewächshäuser, Nordgarten, etc. Alles an einem großen Garten. Und ich muss sagen: als ich reinging, hatte ich nicht große Erwartungen gehabt, aber es ist einfach wunderschön. Es hat mich sehr beeindruckt. Die ganze Natur in ihrer Vielfalt an einem Ort. Auch fand ich z.B. das Bienenhaus echt top. Das ist für mich wahrer Schatz, der nicht so bekannt ist. Im Sommer sollte man definitiv hingehen. Man braucht ungefähr 3 Stunden, um das Ganze zu erkunden, inklusive den anhängenden Park im Grünen.
