Near the outskirts of Linz, on the eastern slopes of the Freinberg, a 30-minute walk from the city center, the splendid Botanical Gardens are considered among Europe's most beautiful gardens.
Home to more than 10,000 species of plants spread over numerous attractive flowerbeds and five greenhouses, the garden features many exotic specimens, including a large collection of cacti, a superb Rosarium, numerous alpine flowers in the Alpinum, and a well-stocked Tropic House.
The Botanical Gardens also hosts numerous events throughout the year, including flower shows and concerts.
