You and your children can enjoy a relaxing walk in the Botanical Garden, a quiet spot of verdant nature right in the chaotic centre of Naples. Located in via Foria, at the borders of the historical centre, it is one of the biggest in Italy for consistency of the collections and by extension. It dates back to the beginning of the 19th century and was founded with educational and scientific purposes. It has an area of 12 hectares with 10.000 species present. There you can admire the felceto and the palm grove; typical plants of the Mediterranean area, like the citruses; officinal plants and plants that require special acclimatization, that is the immense representation of Ninfee in appropriate bathtubs and in a better exposed area, the so-called desert, the wide collection of fat plants. Inside the Garden there is the Museum of Paleobotanica, introducing a collection of fossils and objects made of vegetable material.The garden is open in the morning until 14.00. The entrance is free.
