The botanical garden in Porrentruy is one of the oldest of its kind in Switzerland. It was created in 1798 by order of Paris after the city was annexed by France. The beautiful garden with different plant species from all over the world is now part of the Nature Museum.

Over 600 local plant species from the Jura chain from Lake Biel to the Chasseral are on display. One focal point is the more than 70 varieties of roses and 180 varieties of irises, which enchant the garden in a huge sea of color when the flowers are in bloom.

If you stop in Porrentruy, if you are a herb, plant and flower enthusiast, you should definitely pay a visit to the Parc du Jardin Botanique. After the botanical garden in Basel, it is the second oldest in Switzerland. It is striking that in addition to the almost inexhaustible variety of plants, one or the other sundial on several house fronts shows the time in a shadowy way. A particularly idiosyncratic and modern example can be seen at the end of the park when you enter the area through the main portal. Right next to the botanical garden, there is a public car park that is subject to a fee. From the botanical garden, you can continue your journey of discovery in the direction of the old town, or pay your respects to the castle above the city.
