Botanical Gardens
The Botanical Gardens, part of the Bratislava’s Comenius University but open to the public, were founded in 1942.

The on-site greenhouses contain tropical and sub-tropical plants, a collection of cacti and succulents, orchids, bromeliads and tillandsias, ficuses and ferns, palms, cycads, araucarias, Australian flora, and tropical ornamental plants. Guides are available upon request.
