Step into De Hortus, one of the world’s oldest botanical gardens (founded in 1638), tucked into the city’s Plantage quarter. With over 6,000 living plants, historic greenhouses, and themed gardens, it’s a living treasure where nature, science and serenity meet.
Highlights:
Climate House — Newly renovated into a CO₂-neutral public greenhouse, this striking space presents three distinct climate zones (jungle, desert, South African landscape) side by side to illustrate biodiversity and the effects of climate change.
Historic Greenhouses & Garden Zones — Explore greenhouses with tropical, subtropical, and temperate plants; wander the outdoor gardens, shaded paths, and rare species collections.
