Botanical Gardens

  Nestled in the heart of Hanoi, Botanical Gardens spans over 10 hectares, providing a lush retreat from the bustling cityscape. These gardens were established during the French colonial period in 1890, making it a significant historical site that showcases Vietnam's rich botanical diversity. The main feature is its extensive collection of flora, with more than 1,000 species of trees and plants, including some rare native varieties. Open year-round, visitors particularly enjoy strolling the pathways in spring (March to April) when the flowers bloom vibrantly. While exploring, you can also catch a glimpse of the tranquil Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum just nearby, making it a perfect stop for nature and history lovers alike.
