About
The Botanical Garden Kruidtuin, officially the Hortus Botanicus Lovaniensis, is a historic green oasis in the heart of Leuven, Belgium. Dating back to 1738, the garden was founded as a medical herbarium by Professor Henri‑Joseph Rega and has evolved into a public botanical park. Spread across 2.2 hectares, it showcases a diverse collection of ornamental and economically significant plants, alongside rare species. Entry to the garden is free, making it an accessible retreat for both locals and visitors. Whether you indulge in leisurely strolls through themed beds or explore the ornate greenhouse, Kruidtuin offers a peaceful blend of horticultural history and contemporary living.
