Nestled alongside Geneva's northern border between the Palace of Nations and Lake Geneva, the Conservatory and Botanical Garden Geneva offers a serene setting for relaxing. This living museum features a variety of gardens, where visitors will find seasonal flowers, herbs, Swiss plants, rosebushes and more. Multiple greenhouses, a library, a gift shop, a carousel, a restaurant and an animal park are available as well.

Recent travelers appreciated this attraction's complimentary admissions and beautiful plants. Many also enjoyed watching the museum's peacocks roaming around the animal park and recommend spending a few hours on-site to read a book or have a picnic. Others suggest visiting before or after a flight, since the property is less than 4 miles east of the airport.

Parking is difficult to find by the Conservatory and Botanical Garden Geneva, but visitors can take the No. 15 tram to the Nations stop, which sits within walking distance. Several buses also make stops nearby. The gardens are open October 30 to March 27 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., with extended hours available in the summer. Opening times for facilities like the gift shop and restaurant vary, so consult the property's website before visiting.
