Leyden - Hortus Botanicus

Beyond the University is the University Botanic Garden, the Academietuin or Hortus Botanicus, which was originally laid out in 1590 and is still a popular resort for the people of Leiden as well as for students. From here Nonnensteeg leads to the Binnenvestgracht, with the Clusiustuin, a reconstruction of the first systematically arranged botanical garden, which originally lay immediately behind the University building. On the other side of the gracht can be seen the Hortus Botanicus, with the old Observatory (Sterrenwacht) to the south of it.
