The Botanical Garden

Cluj's Botanical Garden is said to be the largest in southeastern Europe covering over 14 hectares (35 acres) and counting over 10.000 species of plants. We visited on a hot summer day and we couldn't have found a more charming place in Cluj to take shelter from the sun. A place of calm and beauty - and shade :) - amid the bustle of the city. The hilly grounds covered with trees are the perfect spot for a walk and judging by the number of people holding hands also the perfect spot for a romantic stroll.

The garden feature a Botanical Museum and herbarium, a rose garden and a small Japanese garden. The greenhouses display tropical plants including huge Amazon waterlilies. There is also a section devoted to desert plants. Romanian flora is well represented. The garden was founded in 1920 by professor Alexandru Borza and it still is part of the university's Botanical Institute.
