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.
Visitors are advised that on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, an assembly has been called by the workers of the cooperatives entrusted with museum services for the public of Botanical Garden.
For this reason, it is not possible for the University of Padua to guarantee the regular use of the cultural site beyond 5:45 pm.
