25- Universität Bern Botanical Garden

Charming place, well kept. Usually pretty quiet. You need to be well on your feet as there are lots of up and downs.

This place is one of the hidden gems in Bern. It is seldom mentioned on tourist attraction websites. You will see locals wandering the medicinal plant and the herb areas, students having a picnic lunch and of course a lot of resident lizards and insects enjoying the lush vegetation. All the plants are very well labelled with botanical information, you never have to wonder what you are looking at. I will return to the Universität Bern Botanical Gardens every time I visit or pass Bern since it is only 5 minutes walk from the main station.

A nice place to stay in the nature if you don't want to go far. Special flowers, smells, insects, cool tiny paths make this garden a, special place

🚨 Insider Alert! 🚨 A true hidden gem in Berne and a fantastic place to escape city life, work from elsewhere on your laptop, enjoy leisurely strolls among plants and herbs you've probably never heard of, soak in inspiration & more — both outdoors and within greenhouses and all free of charge! 🇨🇭 🌿 🍃 Depending on the season, you can also grab a drink at a charming small trailer coffee shop located within the premises. ☕️🥤 Enjoy!

Such a lovely, calm and beautiful place to spend your day. It’s along the Aare river, with lots of trees and plants around, where you can just lay down and chill. You can enter for free. There’s also a cute cafe to get coffee and small food. Highly recommended for a picnic and relaxing day:)

It’s a nice park on the slope under the bridge in Bern 🌉 bicycles are not allowed and not easy to bike through the design of the park is very nice with stone paths with little waterfalls and design of different plants around each corner. There weren’t so many flowers during visit in end of May mostly plants 🌱there is a palm house and cafe there are little ponds here and there with free chairs around to sit anywhere End of park is at the river which is not clear on the map ic you can go to the other side of river or not I didn’t continue to find out then climbed up the park to exit😄but at the river is fantastic too😍❤️

The botanical garden is beautiful and well organised. The entrance is free of charge, but the greenhouses has openings hours. I've been there in June so most of the plants were blooming or just finished. There is a little café bar inside and there are a lot of chairs and benches to sit and rest outside amid the green, but also inside the greenhouses.

Quite different to other botanical gardens I've been to, in that it's not extensive grounds with big trees. But it has a huge variety of herbs and plants, all labelled. And there's also a green house there. I really enjoyed it - you can meander down the terraces of plants all the way to the river. I then walked to the Bern Rose garden along the river, which was just sparkling in the sun!
