Vácrátóti Nemzeti Botanikus Kert
Around 14 km (9 miles) southeast of Vác, on the road to Gödöllő, lies Hungary’s biggest and best botanical garden. Home to more than 12,000 plant species, the arboretum’s top priority is botanical research, and the collection falls under the auspices of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. You’re welcome to stroll along the paths and sit on benches in the leafy shade. The greenhouse opens a bit later and closes earlier than the surrounding garden.
