General Info

The Amsterdam "Hortus Botanicus" is one of the oldest botanical gardens established by the
city's Municipality (1638); at its beginning it was a "Hortus Medicus" (with medical herbs and plants for doctors and pharmacists). It still is in the same location since 1682 and
already three centuries ago plants completely unknown in Europe could be found here, being brought by the Dutch East India Company from all over the world.

Today the garden attracts tourists from every nation with its over 6000 different plants, among which there is a unique 2000 years old agave cactus. It is possible to relax in the internal café in the Orangerie which has a large outside terrace that opens on the garden. The garden is only a few minutes walk from "Rembrandts House" and close to the "Resistance Museum".
Don't forget that bulbs, plants, seeds and books about plants can be purchased in the museum's shop.
Amsterdam's Hortus Botanicus is open every day, excepted Christmas and the 1st of January.
