Vienna Alpine Gardens in Late May

The Alpine Garden at Vienna's Botanic Gardens area at the Belvedere palaces is one of the oldest Alpine gardens in Europe at about 150 years old. There is a small fee to get in, and there are over 4,000 plants from the alpine regions in the world that can be explored in 2,500 square meters. Visitors can see the gardens, and one of the missions of the garden is to preserve endangered plants in these worldwide alpine regions. I visited the garden at the end of May.

There is a small fee to explore the Alpine Garden, but the Botanic Gardens at the Belvedere palaces and the formal gardens are free. The entrance to the Alpine Garden is near Upper Belvedere.
