The Hortus

The Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam is one of the oldest botanic gardens in the world. Today, there are more than 4,000 plant species growing in the garden and greenhouses. The Hortus is located in the Plantage district on the edge of the hectic center of Amsterdam. Behind the 300-year-old gates, however, the bustle of the city seems to disappear. Enjoy the ever changing garden, greenhouses with butterflies and cacti, the monumental Palmhouse and the impressive Three-Climate greenhouse. Pay a visit to the museum shop which will surprise you. A wonderful biological lunch or a refreshing drink at the Orangery will make your visit onforgettable.
