Description

Antwerp likes to highlight how atypical it is and rightly so. Take Den Botaniek for example. You wouldn’t expect to find a botanical garden in the middle of the city, would you? And yet, in Antwerp 2,000 different plant species grow in a dreamy setting in the city centre. It’s also a good place to spot the locals by the way, who love the peace and quiet of this garden.

Antwerp’s botanical garden is situated next to St. Elisabeth Hospital, and there is a specific reason for this. In the 16th century, the pharmacist Peter van Coudenberghe laid the foundation of this herb and plant garden, using the medicinal plants to prepare medicines.
