I consider the Botanical Garden off beaten track as it is not the usual tourist site. But if you are in Zürich longer then it could be a possibility to visit this place. There are 3 greenhouses with the themes savannah, subtropical and tropical. They are open all year round (in winter till 4 pm). Entry is free of charge. In the warmer seasons the gardens are also used as park for relaxing or eating a sandwich for lunch.

BTW, there is a cafeteria but it is only open Monday to Friday.

On trolleybus no. 33 there is a stop "Botanischer Garten" or alternatively take tram no. 2 or 4 to "Höschgasse" and walk up.

The greenhouses are currently closed as there is construction work going on. This was in May 2011 when I visited with 2 VTers.

Review Helpfulness: 4 out of 5 stars
