Big Parks and Gardens in Berlin, 8 of 10: Botanischer Garten Berlin




Botanic Garden Berlin covers 43 hectares in Dahlem and grows around 20,000 plant species. The Great Tropical Greenhouse, an Art Nouveau glasshouse, stays warm all year and holds giant bamboo, and the cactus house has columns taller than an adult. Outside, long paths loop past ponds, an arboretum and beds that group plants by where in the world they grow.
