Botanical Garden of Rome, an oasis of peace and wonder far from the chaos of the city

Immersed in the beating heart of Rome, between the suggestive streets of Via della Lungara and the majestic Janiculum, there is an oasis of peace and wonder: the Botanical Garden.

This enchanted place invites you to unplug from the urban chaos and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, guardian of an extraordinary plant variety.

Located in the park of Villa Corsini, ancient home of Christina of Sweden, and part of the archaeological area of the Horti Getae, the botanical garden is proudly part of the tradition of scientific gardens, inheriting the prestige of the Vatican Gardens, cradle of the first botanical garden .

Founded way back in 1514 by Pope Leo Rome extends over 12 hectares of land, home to a myriad of species from all over the world.

Among its most precious pearls, the centuries-old trees, the bamboo specimens, the Mediterranean woods and the exotic orchids that populate the suggestive greenhouses stand out. Every corner of this green paradise tells a different story, from the Valletta delle Felci to the suggestive Japanese Garden, up to the romantic Rose Garden.

The Botanical Garden of Rome is not just a place of contemplation, but a lively research and conservation centre, an integral part of the Department of Plant Biology of the Sapienza University of Rome. And to make this experience even more unforgettable, the garden organizes guided tours and special events, such as Hanami in spring and autumn foliage.

Welcoming and accessible to all, with dedicated routes and services for disabled people, the Botanical Garden of Rome invites you to discover the wonderful world of plants on an exciting journey through science, art and nature.
