Hortus Botanicus

Info

The Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam is one of the oldest botanic gardens in the world.

Geschiedenis

Founded in 1638, the Hortus has a beautiful collection of over 4,000 plant species from all over the world. It is right in the centre of the energetic city life of Amsterdam. But here, you can get away from the hectic streets and wander around in warm lushes greenhouses, 'discover' flowering waterlilies and enjoy the shades of ancient trees.
The Hortus is open every day, every season. Also check the website or the newsletter for more information on extra activities.
