Palermo botanical tour

Since the 18th century, Palermo has always had a botanical calling. The city's aristocracy and bourgeoisie rivaled to have the most exotic plants and trees in their own gardens, so they got them not only from the Mediterranean area, but also from the world's most extreme regions. Thanks to them, today Palermo can boast one of Europe's most extensive number of trees and floral species in its numerous parks and gardens

On this tour, you can visit the Botanical Gardens founded in 1789, making them one of the oldest ones in Italy. Then on to Villa Giulia founded in 1778 as one of the first public parks in the world. Villa Malfitano was the home of the British Whitakers and the Park surrounding it dates back to 1886. It has 250 species of plants and trees! The tour ends at the English Gardens founded in 1856 where Palermo's high society used to go to for their promenades.
