University of Latvia Botanical Garden

We visited on a cold Easter Sunday 2018 and the gardens were still in their winter hibernation! However we discovered a blaze of colour in the Azalea house, it was so stunning. The butterfly house was amazing too, so many and a variety of colours. The tropical greenhouses were impressive along with the cacti. Well worth a visit.

Magnolias are blossoming. Of course not just them ☺ many plants are blossoming. Enjoyed the lazy Sunday day with family. Nice location, quite many people though. And rododenders are starting to blossom. Very beautiful and right place to go if you want to catch that wonderful spring-mood.

Pleasant botanical garden with a small butterfly enclosure

Very nice, large garden, visited on Monday so the prize was - 30% for the normal prize. Even the Green House is under construction and closed, there is Butterfly House open. There is A LOT to see outside, which is on July the good seson to come and visit. So colourful. Beautiful, large garden.

Nice place to stroll around, if you are into plants “massively”, then it is moat go. But as that, great visit for 4€, saw some butterflies and snails!

When I visited Riga in March, luckily it was time for Azaleas to bloom. So, my Latvian roommate (I met her in the hostel) recommended this place. Only for a small pay, I got to visit the colorful flowers and the adjacent butterfly museum.

Excellent place to visit in the end of May/beginning of June when rhododendrons are in full bloom. Can have wedding photoshots. The butterfly house is worth to visit with children, they will be excited to see them flying around.
