About this experience
Visit Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam, one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world.
It is a quiet escape from the busy city streets. Founded in the 17th century, the garden takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to tour.
Walk the outdoor grounds to see how the plants change throughout the year. If it is cold outside, you can step into the historic greenhouses.
Inside, see the Butterfly House, the Palm House with its tall trees, and the Climate House, which features three distinct climate zones.
After exploring, you can get a drink or lunch at The Hortus Café (at your own expense).
