The Munich Botanical Garden was opened in 1914 as the successor to the Old Botanical Garden. It currently covers a total area of 21 hectares and 4,500 square meters of greenhouses, making it one of the largest botanical gardens in our country.
You can simply stroll through the park and discover a wide variety of plants. These are consistently described on boards. Alternatively, you can use digital offers such as the audio guide or load additional information onto your smartphone using a QR code.
Various bed areas are planted according to the season, so that the visitor always has a different picture. Friends of insects don't miss out in the botanical garden either. About 107 species of bees, butterflies and many birds live here. You can find out what these are in the information pavilion.
Numerous plants are cultivated under glass in the Munich Botanical Garden. Impressive spherical and columnar cacti thrive in the Large Cactus House. Orchid lovers will get their money's worth in the orchid house. Small pools of water, tropical plants and poison dart frogs create an almost perfect jungle illusion…
In the palm house you can dream of distant countries under gently swinging fronds. The useful plant house provides information about useful plants from different parts of the world. Plant lovers of architectural gems will love the charm of the Viktoriahaus. You can visit this and other greenhouses as well as the lovingly designed open spaces during your tour.
