Discover a remarkable atlas of plant biodiversity covering 3,500 plant species from around the world, visit the Botanical Museum, which tells how studies have evolved and traces the links between botany and medicine, explore the Renaissance medicinal herb garden, and find out all about Goethe’s Palm.
The Botanical Garden of Padua lies between the Prato della Valle city square and the Basilica of St Anthony. It was named a UNESCO world heritage site in 1997. Visits can be by guided tour or self-organized, in which case the admission price includes an audio guide, with a version for children too — ‘AudioPen Kids’.
A Botanical Garden to explore and experience. Besides being the venue for a spring festival, Risvegli, dedicated to science and nature, the garden hosts events and shows all year round, with exhibitions and activities that take the visitor on a trip through the world of plants.
Research laboratories, the herbarium, the museum collections and the historical library are core elements of an activity that combines leading-edge research with the conservation of a rich historical and naturalistic heritage. A scientific mission begun in 1545 that continues today and every day.
