Geneva, Switzerland
Conservatory and Botanical Garden of the City of Geneva

A living encyclopedia of nature, laid out like a visual feast.

Although its name may sound like a mouthful, the Conservatory and Botanical Garden is really just a beautiful public park—albeit one of great national significance. The scale of the flora and fauna cultivated here is unlike anything you will ever find in Geneva’s other parks, so much so that it has become a museum and an institution in its own right. A walk through the carefully manicured grounds and delicately preserved plants is sure to uplift your spirits. The garden is home to more than 16,000 species of plants, which all bloom during different seasons, thus ensuring a unique experience every time you visit. Created with self-professed romantics in mind, the entire experience is a delight for the senses. As you wander about the park, you’ll realize that the plants before you are not haphazardly planted, but instead deliberately divided into different sections. You can visit the Greenhouses, Rockery, Arboretum and Winter Garden to experience varied horticultural settings. With its vast collection spread out lavishly over acres of land, it is no wonder why this attraction was deemed a cultural asset.

Tips Before You Go
If you are pressed for time, then definitely try to drop by the Winter Garden at least, as it contains a wide variety of tropical plants and fruits not commonly found in Geneva. Otherwise, the Greenhouses of Pregny with their beautiful glass exteriors and abundance of natural treasures within are also a good choice.
