Owned by the University of Zurich, the Botanical Garden (Botanischer Garten) is located near the Sihlporte city center. The garden has a very rich, in-depth history, having been designed by Leopold Karl in 1810. Visitors can explore the botanical gardens and the man infrastructures within it, including the tropical glass dome, over 9,000 varieties of plant species, and an octagonal glass pavilion where concerts are held throughout the year.
The garden is considered one of the remnants of the baroque fortifications of Zurich, including the glass and wood greenhouse structure which was added in 1951. The garden is open to visitors from April to September and then again from October to March.
