Giardino della Minerva

It's a must-go in Salerno. The botanical garden is so beautiful, from there you can also watch the city from a higher altitude. The ticket is not expensive at all, there's also reduced price for students if you have student card.

Amazing garden with a lovely view of the city and the sea below 🪴 the walk up to the garden is beautiful and scenic. my friends and I spent a lot of time venturing the garden, reading all about the plants, following their irrigation system, admiring the fish, and taking in the beauty of it all very picturesque place to be ❤️

Could not recommend highly enough. Fantastic, beautiful, and simple. It wasn't overly crowded and the paths were stunning. There's a shop that sells tea made from the herbs grown there. It's a peaceful place with a good view of the city. I loved it so much I went twice, and would definitely make a point to go again if I ever return to Salerno.

Stunning garden with 5 terraces and lots of history. Beautiful views of the city. Great explanation of the way botany and medicine were linked and how doctors used to treat illnesses. Feels like a hidden gem as even in the height of summer so few people were there

One of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever visited. Definitely worth the 1€ entrance. Gives you the prettiest views of Salerno.

Excellent museum / botanical garden! I love that visitors are informed about the Salerno Medical School and its impact on medicine back in the days before entering the garden. It's exciting to see how all of those plants were seen as "exotic", because they are now quite common. Excellent way of incorporating the historical facts into the garden as well. These plants are classified as cold or warm, dry or wet – in line with the four elements which dominated the view on medicine at the Salerno Medical School. There's also a way to get more information via QR codes. And please DO stay for a cup of tea, because it is so delicious. The different kinds of tea are also classified by the selection of the plants and herbs used, which is a really nice touch.

This place is an unique botanical garden where you can enter for just 1.5€ if you're at college (we are students from Croatia and the lady who sells tickets didn't even ask for a Student Card as a proof). The news is that you need to show your GREEN PASS. They will check it before enter. ⚠️ The garden isn't big, we spent there about 45 minutes but it's nice and the view is amazing. 🏙️ I would return here! 💚

Absolutely worth a visit. Aside from the herb Gardens there is a good history , and video, of Salerno medical school and its really interesting theories
