Botanische Tuin TU Delft

Discover the unique intersection of science and nature at the Botanische Tuin TU Delft, a botanical garden with a distinct focus on technical botany and cutting-edge research. Unlike many traditional botanical gardens, this green oasis serves as a living laboratory, showcasing plant collections that support scientific exploration and innovation. As of January 1, 2026, the garden proudly operates under the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at TU Delft, further integrating its natural beauty with academic pursuits and design principles.

Planning your visit is straightforward, with the garden welcoming guests Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, with the last entry at 16:45. Admission is free for children aged 0-4, Museum Card holders, and TU Delft students and employees with a valid CampusCard. Other visitors can expect affordable entry fees, with adults (15+) at €7.50, children (5-14) and seniors (65+) at €4.00, and other students with a college card also at €4.00. Delftpas and Rotterdampas holders also enjoy one complimentary visit per year.

Reaching the garden is convenient, whether you prefer a leisurely 15-minute walk from the historic Markt through the iconic Oostpoort, or utilizing Delft's excellent public transport network with numerous bus stops nearby. For those arriving by car, the garden is easily accessible from the A13 motorway, with paid parking available in zone 3100 and a covered option at Garage Zuidpoort. On weekends and national holidays, take advantage of free parking at the TU Delft Zuidplantsoen lot. During autumn and winter, consider the Delft City Shuttle for a relaxed journey.
