From the Zurich World / Places

Botanical Garden of the University of Zurich

The university garden combines outdoor plant collections with three domed tropical houses on a sloping site east of the city center.

Why go

Come for botanical range rather than formal garden design. The outdoor beds show plants by geography and ecology, while the glass domes compress contrasting climates into a short indoor sequence. It is especially useful for travelers who want a calm, low-cost nature stop without leaving Zurich.

What to look for

  • Compare the climates and plant forms inside the three glass domes.
  • Follow the sloping outdoor paths through geographically grouped collections.
  • Look across the pond toward the distinctive greenhouse silhouettes.

Useful to know

  • Check separate seasonal access for outdoor grounds and greenhouses.
  • Wear shoes suited to sloping paths, especially after rain.
