Orto Botanico di Pisa, Via Luca Ghini, 5, Pisa
On the third Saturday of the month, the Botanical Garden and Museum of the University of Pisa offers Botanical Saturday, a guided tour dedicated to its plant collections, a unique heritage that changes with the seasons.
Founded in 1543, it is the first university botanical garden in the world. Originally built on the banks of the Arno River, it was moved to its current location in 1591 and then gradually expanded to its current size of about two hectares. It houses plants from the five continents: succulents from the African and American deserts; aromatic plants from the Mediterranean maquis; species from the Tuscan marshes; numerous centuries-old trees and many others.
