The Botanical Garden in Wrocław is one of the quietest places in the city center. If you don’t know what to add to your 1 day itinerary in Wroclaw, we can truly recommend the Botanical Garden as one of the best things to see in Wrocław. The garden itself is quite large with many plants from around the world. If you like, you can grab a cup of coffee and a piece of cake, sit on a bench, and observe nature.
We visit the Botanical Garden in Wrocław regularly, usually several times a year. The following photos are from the last days of May 2020.

Walking Tour in The Botanical Garden in Wrocław
It is difficult to get lost in the Botanical Garden. Even though there are many paths here, you can easily see where they lead. It is worth going for a walk through alleys full of trees that act as Monuments of Nature, sit by the fountain or small waterfall, or take a walk among the blooming flowers. There is also a greenhouse, a café, toilet and souvenir shop.
During the year, many natural events take place in the Garden, e.g. Bee Day, Lower Silesian Pumpkin Festival, Wrocław Flour Festival or Autumn meeting with birds.
Also, each year the plant of the year is chosen.
