Lyria's favourites: Botanical garden of the University

Botanical garden of the University

Basel | Switzerland

Strange greenhouse effect.

A real haven in an already serene city, we owe this botanical garden to Caspar Bauhin. It was founded in 1589, which makes it one of the oldest in the world. The different outdoor spaces dedicated to amongst others ferns, geophytes and alpinium, and various greenhouses house orchids and tropical plants. These are all reasons to stroll in this strange oasis, a real invitation to relax.
