The way to the botanic garden. Start from the U-Bahn station „Branderburger Tor”. Choose the line S1 (the pink one) via Wannsee. Your stop is „Botanischer Garten”. Follow the signs when you get out, it should be pretty simple for everyone. There will be a 10 minutes walk and the entrance to the garden is from the Unter den Eichen street.
The Berlin-Dahlem Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum (German: Botanischer Garten und Botanisches Museum Berlin-Dahlem) was constructed between 1897 and 1910, under the guidance of architect Adolf Engler, in order to present exotic plants returned from German colonies. Today, the garden is part of the Free University of Berlin. It’s the 3rd biggest garden in the World.
The best-known part is the Great Pavilion (Großes Tropenhaus). The temperature inside is maintained at 30 °C and air humidity is kept high. Among the many tropical plants it hosts a giant bamboo.
