Lovely and free place to visit when in Basel! Don’t skip it! The greenhouses are full with beautiful plants.
Absolutely stunning!! A lot of different locations and plants, even giant trees from all around the world. Also, what is important- the territory is very clean. I was on Saturday and there were anyway not a lot of people. I thought that maybe it’s not worth going, before I actually got there, because it’s winter, but now I can 100% recommend go to everyone at anytime of the year.
Wonderful botanical display for a relatively small university department.
Modest in its size but very well organised. Unfortunately, part of the garden was closed during our visit but we still enjoyed it quite a lot.
A little gem tugged in the heart of the city. It is small yet beautiful and serene. Lovely place to sit in and admire the beautiful surroundings. Cannot comment on the educational aspect, but I am sure it is a delight even for students of Botany.
The tropical green house is the most recent addition and it is absolutely stunning. Loads of plants in a decent sized space. I personally love this green addition to the city's places of attraction.
Beautiful! The new huge tropical area is very lush and full of amazing plants, I'll visit again and again
One of my favourite spots in Basel. Beautiful any time of the year. I love the greenhouse: beautiful birds flying inside, "beware of crocodiles" sign, wifi and orchids inside. Ideal for relaxation and walk. A little bit too moist and hot in summer
Currently the botanical garden is partially still open despite the construction. It still is worth a visit! The botanical gardens never disappoint! Even after several visits I notice something new to marvel at.
