What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise the breathtaking beauty and stunning sea views offered by the botanical gardens near Barcelona, particularly Marimurtra. The diverse plant collections and serene atmosphere are major draws, making them ideal for day trips and romantic outings. Some find parking challenging at Marimurtra, and it's always wise to confirm ticket prices and opening hours.
"Well worth a visit, I paid €2.50 and for that price I wasn't expecting much but I was honestly pleasantly surprised, the garden was a lot bigger than I expected and clearly indicated what area of the world the plants around you were from and listed exactly what everything was, I'm not very into botany or anything so I couldn't really fully appreciate maybe how rare or special certain plants are but if you were a botanist or someone interested in this type of stuff then this would be a literal paradise. Theres also a lot of places to sit down around the garden, loads of water fountains to refill water bottles and in the botanical institute building there's toilets and a café."
