Although cheap-3 euros -the Garden isn't well cared for or thought out. The Bonsai trees were lovely but the Botanical Gardens was rather small and unimpressive especially considering the calibre of the city and the Parque del Retiro. My advice skip the Gardens and head for the park, better cared for, more interesting and free. More

Beautiful place to stroll. Right next to the Prado, Thyssen and Reina Sofia museums. More

This botanical garden is over 200 years old with specimens of the same age. Whether or not you're a gardener, this garden should be near the top of you list of things to see in Madrid.

The tulips were mostly finished flowering, the trees and shrubs were in bud and there's lots of work going on - I'm sure it's more spectacular later in the year. More

Lovely oasis in the centre of Madrid well kept and just so relaxing. I will go back later in the year to see it in full leaf and colour. More

A perfectly chilled location, wonderful walks and if you feel like some exercise then try the boating lake. More

charming and centrally located botanic garden. Beautiful! More
