Description

The Alpine Garden, south of the Upper Belvedere, is the oldest of its kind in Europe. Behind the walls that separate Belvedere Palace and the Botanical Garden, one can see a rock garden with thousands of plants normally only found in alpine regions. Some of these are quite rare. This small place with bridges and a tiny pond reminds one of a Japanese garden, which is charming in the middle of Vienna! Besides that, rare plants can be bought here, perhaps as an unusual but rather delightful souvenir.
