  • 5/5 Xavi S. 4 years ago on Google
    Un racó tranquil per desconnectar, al bell mig de Barcelona. Worst place ever for a tourist. Lots of pickpockets, kidnappers and murderers. Gaudi never put his feet here. Not worth the visit.

    It’s a small but quite nice botanical garden. I would say it’s nothing special, but we had a great time here - it’s very quiet and the air is noticably very fresh. It’s a good place for hiding from the noisy city.

  • 5/5 Carla Y. 7 months ago on Google
    I accidentally came across this garden and was fascinated by it. Such a beautiful hidden gem. You can go for a little walk, sit on a bench and read a book, or just come here to disconnect. Many little paths to walk, there is an app you can download and enjoy the immersive experience. Plants and trees are well signed. There are small allotments and a house. I found this such a beautiful place to visit, especially if you want to leave the hustle and bustle of the city.

  • 5/5 Jamie O. 11 months ago on Google
    Delightful botanical garden behind MNAC. Lots of paths to ramble up and down the hillside. Great signage identifying the many species gathered in the garden. The east side, through the tunnel under the escalators, has a sensory garden where you can explore the flowers with smell, touch, and sight. Lots of birdsong can be heard as the garden is much quieter than the bustling area around MNAC. A great place to sit for spell and rest weary feet.

    A calm and cool place to enjoy silence and nature just meters away from some of the busiest tourist locations.

  • 4/5 Ellis D. 6 years ago on Google
    The botanical gardens was situated behind the National Museum, which has stairs and escalators up to the top if you are coming from the Metro stop Espanya. The botanical garden however was not advertised and I did not know it existed until I was outside the entrance to the gardens itself and since it was behind the museum, you may miss it. It's a nice, quiet yet small gardens with seating areas situated throught and a drinking fountain near the entrance. There were parakeets in the trees as well providing some nice photo opportunities. The botanical gardens were free entry however I did visit in January so it may change during the summer to profit from tourism. Even during the winter the weather is still viable for a botanical visit and you may see different plants that do not grow in the summer or spring. The gardens are situated in a nice area with plenty of picturesque views from inside and around the botanical gardens boundaries. The nearby attractions are also brilliant if you are planning a tourist route around the area including the National Museum, Sports Arena, the Bull ring Are an now a shopping centre and the magic fountains on a night which are only available during certain days and times of the week.
