The Ljubljana Botanical Garden is a famous attraction in the city. Established in 1810, it is the oldest cultural, scientific, and educational institution in the country.

You may think it sounds odd to refer to the Botanical Garden as a scientific and educational institution, but the Ljubljana Botanical Garden is used and maintained by the University of Ljubljana. They play a very important role in protecting Slovenia’s original species.

They host more than 4.500 different species in a very impressive collection. A visit to the Botanical Garden can also be a very romantic date idea when visiting Ljubljana.
