HIdden away down a side street, and no wonder! This place is poorly maintained, unkempt amd scruffy. Could be really beautiful if more time were spent in its upkeep. More

Up a back street - not really worth bothering with. More

We found this Botanical Garden very nice and quiet and just perfect for what you need after a day of rushing around looking at sites. Entry free was very cheap at €2.50 each and we spent about an hour there wandering around looking at plants and reading about the history of trees and the history of the garden, which turns... More

Not the best botanical garden in the world, but still interesting. A lovely green place in the centre of a city that doesn't have much in the way of quiet open spaces. More

This place was tiny and did not seem to have much variety in it. It is an okay very short walk around it, but is only worth going out of your way if you have time to spare. We only went because it was near our hotel. I am glad that we didn't walk to see it, as it was... More

a neglected garden. A shame for such an old garden. There seems to be no money invested into it. More

It is sadly a very overlooked sight of Pisa!! We went here with small children, and here they could run free and explore the gardens with its old and impressive trees, extensive cactus collection and bamboo forests to name a few of the specimens of the garden. It is a quiet and contemplative place - and quite the contrast to... More

I visited the Botanic Garden and Museum last week while I was in Pisa and found it very interesting. I love trees and there were some which were actually planted in the late 1800s. It's a great place just to have a relaxing walk around. Although I got bitten all over by mosquitos I still enjoyed it very much!!! They... More

The University of Pisa Botanical Gardens are very nice. They are the very first university botanical gardens in the world, headed up by Luca Ghini - a man famous among biologists. The collections here are well maintained and looked after. Very beautiful plants and trees from around the world. They charge now to enter the gardens, but it is only... More
