Description:
Botanical Garden of the Comenius University Bratislava was founded in 1942. It serves scientific, educational, cultural and popularising tasks. Gradually the recreational aspect is extended.

The area of about 5 hectares comprises a collection of over 5 000 plant species. The exhibits in glasshouses take the ecological needs of species into account.
