About

The Botanical Garden of the University of Wrocław is a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city, blending scientific heritage with natural beauty. Founded in 1811, it is the second‑oldest botanical garden in Poland and remains an active research site as well as a beloved public attraction. Spread across several hectares near Ostrów Tumski, the garden features winding paths, ponds, rockeries, and themed plant collections that showcase species from around the world. Historic greenhouses shelter tropical and subtropical plants, while outdoor sections highlight native flora, rare trees, and seasonal blooms that transform the landscape throughout the year. Sculptures, small bridges, and quiet benches add to the charm, making it a favourite spot for leisurely walks and photography. The garden’s blend of education, conservation, and serene atmosphere offers visitors a refreshing escape from the city while celebrating Wrocław’s long botanical tradition.
