Today I would like to take you to the Botanical garden in Zagreb. It is my favorite place where I often get away from the city rush.

The Garden was established 129 years ago by the botanical department of the Faculty of science. It was supposed to serve botanical university studies and scientific research.
But throughout the years it became a place of peace and battery charger for citizens of Zagreb and its tourists.

Croatia is situated between the continental and the Mediterranean climate so we really have a lot of different species and most of them are preserved in a botanical garden.
Here you can find plants that grow on mountains like endemic plant Velebit Degenia, plants from Croatian national and nature parks, but also all those beautiful flowers near the sea that thrive in full sun.

The garden is placed in the city center few blocks away from the main square, nearby the Main Railway Station and Esplanade hotel.

Just a few minutes walk from the center and you find yourself in the flower oasis where you can connect with pure nature.
I often sit on the bench, just look around and do nothing, it gives me the strength to step into busy capital again.
