Botanical garden housing no fewer than 20,000 floral species, including exotic plants and flowers in huge greenhouses.
Berlin's botanical gardens have been in existence for over 300 years. But in 1646, it was in the Kleistpark (in Schöneberg) that plant collections from all over the world began, and it was only at the end of the 19th century that the garden was moved to Dahlem, then a village southwest of Berlin. Today, it's one of Germany's largest botanical gardens, with almost half a million visitors a year and no fewer than 22,000 species of flowers growing and flourishing in the garden. Most impressive of all are the enormous greenhouses that house and condition exotic plants and flowers. So, if the hot, humid Amazonian climate doesn't scare you, make a detour to the Viktoriahaus where you can admire the royal Amazonian water roses, while pragmatists can admire and learn about the medicinal uses of plants. In the garden, don't miss the large rock gardens covered with European plants or the Japanese garden with its charming pavilion and beautiful rhododendrons.
Housed in a brick building, the museum reveals the secrets of plants. Fossils show the evolution of plants through the ages, while sections explain the uses to which rice, tobacco, cotton and hemp can be put. You can also discover plants found in Egyptian and Roman tombs, and other plants and curiosities from all over the world and all ages.
