Botanical garden

This area of 28 hectares, situated since 1904 on the edge of Geneva, is an ideal setting for either a simple stroll or for learning.

The Botanical Gardens consist of a collection of 16,000 plant species from all over the world. This truly living museum is divided into several sections: an arboretum, the rock garden and banks of protected plants, medicinal and useful plants, greenhouses, horticultural plants (including a "garden of scent and touch"), an animal park devoted to conservation and "Botanicum" (a family space) near the lake.
