One of the most significant botanical gardens in the world
The Munich-Nymphenburg Botanical Garden covers an area of approximately 21 hectares and features over 14,000 plant species. This makes it one of the most significant and diverse botanical gardens in the world. It was established between 1910 and 1914 as a replacement for the “Old Botanical Garden” in the city center and today borders directly on the northern part of the Nymphenburg Palace Park.
This is where research and nature come together. In the glass and iron greenhouse complex, a wide variety of climate zones are simulated, which you can visit.
