The Botanical Garden in Leiden, known as Hortus Botanicus, is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world and was founded in 1590. A special highlight of this historic garden is the tropical house, the Tropenhuis. Here, visitors can discover an impressive variety of tropical plants, including towering palm trees, exotic orchids and rare ferns. The warm, humid environment mimics the natural habitats of these plants and offers a fascinating insight into the rich biodiversity of tropical regions. A visit to the tropical house is a must for anyone interested in botany or simply wanting to immerse themselves in a lush green oasis. | Netherlands
