Olárizu Botanical Garden

The Jardín Botánico de Olárizu is a green space located on the outskirts of Vitoria-Gasteiz, in the Basque Country. This botanical garden is dedicated to the conservation and display of the region's native flora, recreating various natural habitats such as oak groves, holm oak forests, and grasslands. It is part of the Anillo Verde, a network of natural spaces surrounding the city that contribute to its environmental sustainability.

As you explore the garden, you can observe a wide variety of plant species native to the Basque Country, organized according to their natural ecosystems. Highlights include trails that cross oak and holm oak forests, as well as areas dedicated to medicinal and aromatic plants. The diversity of colors and textures invites a sensory experience that connects visitors with the local nature.

The Jardín Botánico de Olárizu was created with the aim of preserving regional biodiversity and promoting environmental education. Its location in Álava, within the Basque autonomous community, reflects the importance placed on protecting natural heritage in this area. Additionally, its integration into the Anillo Verde facilitates access to natural spaces from the urban environment.

For visiting the garden, comfortable footwear is recommended to walk the trails, along with appropriate clothing for the season. Admission is free, and the site is accessible for people with reduced mobility, although some areas may have gentle slopes. No advance booking is required. The garden is suitable for children and pets, provided that coexistence and conservation rules are respected.
