The Botanic Garden in Berlin is one of the biggest attractions of the city – both in terms of popularity and in terms of literal size, as it’s 43 hectares large. Today, we’ll go over all the basics you’ll need: what it is, when you can enter it and how much it’ll cost you. Let’s take a look!
The Berlin Botanic Garden
The Botanic Garden was planned out by Adolf Engler over a century ago, with the single goal of creating a pocket world in the garden. While this may not have been possible right away, it certainly has gotten a lot closer today, with over 20,000 different plant types in the garden alone. There’s also a Botanical Museum, a Herbarium Berolinese and a library which make up the Botanical Garden complex.
