History
The 1889 Botanical Garden of the University of Zagreb sits inside the city's Lenuci horseshoe of parks — a compact 5-hectare mix of Japanese ponds, an alpinum, a Mediterranean glasshouse and 10,000 catalogued species. Free to enter and blissfully quiet a block off the main railway station.
“The garden was founded in 1889 by botanist Antun Heinz — its layout has barely changed since.”
