Hortus Botanicus, established in 1682, is one of the oldest medical gardens in the world today. It makes for the perfect afternoon out, to relax and wander through this medley of scent and colour and bear witness to the hundreds of thousands of different plants, trees and flowers of assorted varieties. Many tropical species that were brought from the Dutch colonies of Indonesia, Surinam and the Antilles are on display, as well as one of the oldest palm trees in the world, and many other highlights.
