Botanická zahrada Přírodovědecké fakulty UK

The Charles University Botanical Garden is one of the oldest university gardens in Europe, dating back to 1775. The gardens have been at their current location since 1898 and host thousands of plants from all over the world. As you walk through the entrance, you can see a large greenhouse to your left housing many tropical and subtropical plants, cacti, and succulents. Access to these areas does require a small admission fee, which can be seen in the description, payable only in cash.

As you venture further into the garden, you can see some subtropical plants (in the summertime) and conifers to your right, and many Central European flora and fauna in front of the greenhouse buildings. Some of the plants in this area date back to 1904, such as the Ginko biloba tree, which is located right in front of the greenhouse.

The botanical garden also holds many noteworthy succulents and one of the first dawn redwoods introduced to Europe. The gardens are visited by over 100,000 people a year with all outdoor areas being freely accessible, so take some time and explore!

Opening hours vary throughout the year, so check the website for the most up to date information. If the gardens are closed, walk along the garden side on Benatska street.

Continue walking though the garden to the exit. If the gate is closed, another exit can be found along the wall right behind the large brick building close to the greenhouses.
