Tallinn Botanical Gardens
Tallinn's magnificent Botanical Garden covers 110 hectares and
contains more than 8,000 plant species. The flora comes from all
around the world, displayed in arboretums, glasshouses, open fields
and thematic gardens. In just a few steps visitors are transported
from European meadows to African tundra, or from desert to
rainforest. Specialised exhibits change every month, and thematic
tours are offered all year round, the most popular being the summer
night aroma tours, and the rose days. A nature trail traverses the
different habitats.
