It might not be a true botanical garden, but its beautiful. A nice green space in the city center. I place to away, even for a few moments, and enjoy some natural beauty and greenery in the midst of all the concrete and buildings. There are some very nice/cool pathes/trails. There is a beautiful glass structure with plants inside such as cactus and some other desert/tropical plants. It's only open during the spring and summer. A must see ! Please see photos also.

Excellent piece of green space in the middle of town. There is no cost to visit and guests can invest as little or as much time as desired. Amidst all the plants was a small sample of structures showcasing glass, wood, or concrete materials. Meandering pathways lead guests through deep jungle-like areas and also high atop overlooking the surrounding city. This park is a great place to relax and features a great variety of visuals. Highly recommended.

Stumbled upon this garden by chance during the three hours I had to kill in Zürich. It's such a wonderful Oasis in the middle of this European city. It has a greenhouse, a small bamboo forest, lots of small pathways meandering between the trees, and a plateau on the top with a garden elevated above the rest of the area. It was such a lovely place of peace taking a break from the city life 😌

Very cute place to visit in between or just to go to relax and enjoy your morning coffee and pastry. When I went in the morning the garden crew looked like they were getting to work with spring maintenance. A small amount of flowers were starting to bloom since it’s just the beginning of the season, there’s lots of little paths and nooks to check out. Did I mention it is also free!

Free entry, open daily but time varies by time of year. Free public toilets. The gardens don't look well maintained. Perhaps they are attempting a natural look but numerous weeds, overgrown and dead plants. However, many quiet places to read and/or reflect. Signage does not include English.

A calming oasis of tranquility in the centre of Zürich. Just a short walk away from the main shopping streets. Equally, not far from Bűrkliplatz where the boats leave for Lake Zürich and Limmat River trips. A perfect place to eat a packed lunch, or just while away the time.
