Zagreb Botanical Garden

In the heart of Zagreb, Croatia, there is a botanical garden called the Zagreb Botanical Garden. It is a component of the Faculty of Science and was established in 1889 by Antun Heinz, a professor at the University of Zagreb, and opened to the public in 1891. The Faculty of Botany at Zagreb University originally constructed the Botanical Garden (Botanicki Vrt) as a research facility. It is a member of a group of parks that make up the "Green Horseshoe" of the city of Donji Grad, covering an area of around 50,000 square meters.

A peaceful retreat from the city and a perfect spot to unwind or go for a walk are provided by the arboretum. There are two ponds with a variety of aquatic plants, an elegant bridge, and roughly 10,000 different plant species that are present on the grounds. If you still have the energy afterward to see another museum, visit the neighboring Natural History Museum (Hrvatski Prirodoslovni Muzej). The museum, which is housed in the Amadeo Palace since the early 1700s, has about 2.5 million items in its collection. These include minerals from all over the world, a sizable zoological collection showcasing a wide range of Croatian plants and animals, and artifacts uncovered during local archaeological digs.
