About
Raske fakta: Spread across roughly 87 hectares, the grounds feel like a living atlas with towering palms, winding avenues, and pockets of orchids spilling color at eye level. Curators tend more than 15,000 living plant specimens and a vast herbarium, so you often stroll past plants that scientists study for medicine and climate research.
Høydepunkter: Step under a rain tree whose canopy can span more than 40 meters, where dappled light and hanging roots turn paths into cathedral-like rooms. Brass tags name explorers like Reinwardt and Blume beside mossy stone markers, and the air carries the sweet, spicy scent of orchids after a sudden tropical shower.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring lightweight rain protection in the wet season.
- Arrive before 9am to avoid school groups and catch the best morning light near the historic greenhouse and the palm collection.
- Bring a refillable water bottle and a small picnic, lawn areas are perfect for a break.
- Pick up a map at the main gate and follow a clockwise route to see major collections without backtracking.
