A getaway from the hustling and bustling of the city, the botanical garden is a green oasis of tranquillity. Going back 500 years, it was created by a pharmacist, originally to grow medicinal plants for the next-door hospital. To this day, more than 2.000 plant species make it a unique setting to enjoy a picnic or read a book. Just steps away from Antwerp’s shopping avenue Meir, which makes it perfect to recover from your shopping spree, ...or to gather the energies to dive into it!
