Fran Kušan Pharmaceutical Botanical Garden in Zagreb

The Fran Kušan Pharmaceutical Botanical Garden in Zagreb may be less well-known than the main Botanical Garden downtown, but it is just as rewarding to visit if you are renting accommodation in Zagreb and curious about the flora here. Hidden behind the classical façade of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, away from the noise of the city, lies a peaceful world of plants and beauty. The Fran Kušan Pharmaceutical Botanical Garden in Zagreb is a living laboratory and open-air classroom. Founded primarily for educational purposes, it preserves an impressive collection of medicinal, aromatic, poisonous, and ornamental plants from around the world. A walk along its paths feels like turning the pages of an old book: every plant comes with a story about its role in pharmacy, chemistry, or traditional medicine. Whether you are a student, a botany enthusiast, or simply seeking a quiet place to rest, here you will discover a hidden dimension of the plant world. The garden is open to the public on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
