Jardi Botanic de Barcelona
The Jardi Botanic de Barcelona occupies a terraced slope on Montjuic and is planted by Mediterranean-climate region, grouping species from Catalonia, California, Chile, South Africa and Australia.
Why it matters
The garden is organised by climate rather than by taxonomy, which puts unrelated plants from five continents side by side and makes the convergences between them obvious.
Editorial context written by Global City Intelligence, not a statement from the venue.

Not verified: opening hours, admission prices and access rules. These change frequently and we have not checked them, so this page does not state them. Check the official website before travelling.
The garden is operated by the Museu de Ciencies Naturals de Barcelona and shares that institution's website. No page specific to the garden was verified, so no official website is recorded against the garden itself; the two are distinct sites about 6 km apart.
