Established in 1999, the Botanical garden of Barcelona is located at the top of Montjuïc, near the stadiums used in the 1992 Summer Olympics.
The garden features plants and trees from places with Mediterranean climates including Australia, Chile, California, South Africa, the Canary Islands, and the western and eastern Mediterranean.

How to get there:
The closest metro stop is Plaça Espanya on the red line (L1) and green line (L3). From Plaça Espanya the Botanical garden is a substantial walk of about 2.5 km. Several buses (150, 13 or 55) will take you closer but still require a short walk.
