Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh

Parks
Edinburgh
City Of Edinburgh

Just one mile from city centre, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh offers visitors peace and tranquillity amongst 72 acres of stunning scenery.

The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is one of the finest botanic gardens in the world. A pleasure for all the family, the Garden offers fantastic views of the capital's skyline, featuring Edinburgh Castle, and is located just a mile from the city centre. Visitors can discover its fascinating history, which dates back 300 years, learn about its plantings and walk around 70 acres of beautiful landscape.

The Glasshouse visit is a particular highlight, starting at the Victorian Temperate Palm House dating back to 1858 and one of the tallest traditional palm houses ever built. The Garden's 10 magnificent Glasshouses each has a different climatic zone, from steamy tropics to arid desert, and are home to 3,000 exotic plants from around the world including a 200-year-old palm tree.

Visitors can enjoy the serenity of the Chinese Hillside, explore the world-famous Rock Garden or stroll amongst the awe-inspiring Giant Redwood trees in the Woodland Garden. Plus, there are fine artworks to view in the Garden's contemporary art gallery Inverleith House.

Open all year, the Garden hosts a popular programme of events, exhibitions and guided tours. The Garden's restaurants include the award-winning Gateway Restaurant and the Terrace Cafe which serves a delicious selection of high quality hot and cold foods for all tastes. Snacks are also available at the East Gate Lodge.

The Botanics Shop, located in the John Hope Gateway visitor centre, offers a wide selection of gifts, souvenirs, crafts and plants.

Admission to the Garden is FREE.
