Jardi botanic de Barcelona (Barcelona Botanical Garden), Barcelona

Among the many gardens found in Montjuïc, the city's notable 14-hectare (35-acre) Botanical Garden stands out. Established in 1999 and situated on terraced slopes, it offers magnificent vistas of the city. Positioned between the Olympic Stadium and Montjuïc Castle, this meticulously maintained modern garden features distinct landscaped sections that showcase the diverse flora of the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, California, Chile, South Africa, and Australia.

In a city renowned for its innovative architectural designs, the layout of this botanical garden is no exception. Departing from the traditional square-shaped botanical gardens commonly seen elsewhere, it takes on an unconventional form with a series of triangular areas designated for different botanical divisions. An additional fantastic aspect is that the garden offers various path options of different lengths, allowing visitors to customize their visit according to their preferred duration, whether they wish to stay for an extended period or just a short while. Just be mindful to avoid visiting during the peak heat of a summer day, as shade is quite limited.
