Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam

One of the oldest botanical gardens in the world

In this botanical garden grow up to 6,000 plants of over 4,000 species. The Hortus is located in the Plantage district (Plantagebuurt), a quiet place at the edge of the hectic centre. Behind the 300-year-old gate, however, the bustle of the city seems to disappear.

Originally, the Hortus was a medicinal herb garden, founded in 1638 by the Amsterdam City Council.
