Botanical Garden

Called an oasis of beauty and tranquillity in the heart of the city, the Botanical Garden of the University of Wrocław is a “living museum” and at the same time a scientific and didactic centre, as well as a favourite leisure destination for Wrocław citizens. It is situated on the north side of St John the Baptist Cathedral and St Cross Church, partly within the historical Cathedral Island, about 2 km from the Market Square. It is the second oldest garden of this type in Poland (after the Kraków garden), included on the list of monuments of the Lower Silesian Voivodship and located within the borders of the historic centre of Wrocław, which is subject to special protection.
