AREA COVERED
The Botanical garden, which is located in Bratislava's borough of Karlova Ves near the Danube, covers an area of approximately 7.5 hectares.
HISTORICAL/SCIENTIFIC/ARTISTIC INFORMATION
The garden was opened on 4 July At the end of the 1970s, the garden contained approximately 5,000 different plant species. In the 1980s, the area of the botanical garden was reduced due to the construction of the Lafranconi Bridge. The mission of the botanical garden is to maintain and expand the collections of living plants, educational activities as well as providing technical information to the public. This place is great to visit during a sunny day, even when it’s warmer outside, as you can hide among the trees or on the benches.
DATING
The Botanical Garden was founded at the beginning of the 1940s, but its history goes further back in time than that.
