Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb

If you feel the need to escape from the tourist crowds in Old Town or the disappointment of finding yet another museum closed for 'maintenance' then head to the Botanical Garden nearby Zagreb's main station. A couple of hours here of 'forest bathing' refreshed my spirit and I learnt more about the flora of our world, marveling at the giant Sequoia Redwoods, Ginkgo trees, exotic and carnivorous plants of South America and many more beautiful flowers. It's an easy place to get to by tram and the entry price is a mere €2.00 !

Absolutely beautiful garden even in nearly fall. I had an absolutely wonderful time walking around the garden looking at everything. It was early September, so I'm sure it's much more magnificent in Spring/ Summer. I also really liked looking at the art exhibit housed in the read building, hard to believe it was all done by high schoolers.

quite a simple but beautiful and well-kept garden. the entrance tickets are very cheap and there are a lot of good information tables about the plants themselves. There are also many benches to rest on and the scenery is nice

Even though it delayed our Zagreb sightseeing tour about an hour, because my mother's a real botanic enthusiast, it was even an interesting place to visit for me and my father - even though we do not understand quite a lot around plants. The 2€ were definitely worth it!

It's close to the train station (7 min walk) and only 2€ per ticket. It's a great way to spend your time while waiting for your train.

€2 entry is really hard to beat for such a beautiful place to walk around. The variety of fauna is incredible and there is a really cool cat that loves pets 🐱

Its ok. Not very well maintained but pleasant enough to walk around or sit on a bench. Lots of rules which are mostly ok, but no glass of wine, no picnic on the weed patches? Children are allowed but they arent allowed to do much (no running, no balls, no climbing rocks) .. the plants look a bit sickly like they dont get the correct nutrients or sufficient sun. Its a bit dodgy for wheelchair uses because large watering holes are occasionally across the path. Its possible to avoid though. 2 euro entry.

If you love plants and flowers, this botanical garden is a must visit place when you're in Zagreb. Lush with greenery and yet still in the city area. I was visiting on Tuesday, May 13, 2025. We entered the place for free as we handed out the money. The lady in the ticket booth confirmed that that day was a free entrance.
