Entrance to the Utrecht University Botanic Gardens
Guided tour

What's life if you don't stop to smell the flowers? Take a walk around some the oldest university gardens in the Netherlands and see orchids, a birdhouse, a Bamboo Forest, Europe's biggest rock garden and more!

Utrecht University Botanic Gardens are among the oldest university gardens in the Netherlands - first constructed in 1639. Pack some sandwiches (and tissues for the hayfever?) and spend some time in this colorful retreat.

Walk over bridges, cross moats and stroll through beautiful spaces packed with unique flora and fauna.

See the result of 2,100 tons of boulders from the Ardennes in the Rock Garden. It's one of the largest in Europe (built in 1963).

Admire some stunning succulents in the Central Hall, and step into the heat of the Tropical Greenhouses, where the humidity helps cocoa, papaya, liana varieties, orchids and bromeliads, Passion flower and more to grow year-round.

With a birdhouse, a Bee Hotel and more, it's a blooming marvellous day out!

With the exception of parts of the Rock Garden, the Utrecht University Botanic Gardens are wheelchair accessible. Disabled toilets are available in both the Entrance Building and the Tropical Greenhouses. A number of loaner wheelchairs are available for people with mobility problems.
