    Hortus Botanicus (botanical gardens)

    Posted by Tori 13 January 2006

    This is a lovely spot near the zoo and great for a quiet afternoon. They have an amazing building with three different climate zones (tropical, subtropical and desert) with walkways that stretch up into the canopy of the trees. There’s beautiful sculptures woven in giving a fantastic mixture of organic and non-organic form. They also have a fantastic butterfly house packed with hundreds of the little guys.

    Plantage Middenlan 2a; 1018 DD Amsterdam; Trams 9 and 14.
