Botanischen Gartens und Botanischen Museums Berlin

About

The Botanischer Garten Berlin is a living laboratory and a visual feast for nature lovers, tourists and scholars alike. Spanning 43 hectares, it hosts more than 20,000 plant species in its purpose‑built show gardens, extensive greenhouses and a future museum. The classic French‑style terraces entwine with contemporary glasshouses that showcase tropical, temperate and alpine flora in vivid displays. Visitors can stroll through scented corridors, discover themed beds such as the Mediterranean Marine House and the Oriental Garden, and learn about plant biology at the interactive information kiosks. Guided tours and workshops—available in multiple languages—invite guests to explore the botany behind the beautiful plants. The garden’s schedule is generous: the main entrance and the greenhouses open from 9 AM to 8 PM, while the specialized greenhouse rooms close at 8:30 PM. Tickets are sold online or at the box office and cost €10 for adults, €5 for reduced‑rate visitors. A dynamic venue supported by the Free University of Berlin, the garden offers free access to the museum with a valid garden ticket, making science and art easy to combine for families, students, and casual visitors. Plan a visit in late spring or early autumn to enjoy the most colorful displays while avoiding the peak summer heat.
