Wilhelma Zoologisch-Botanischer Garten
Wilhelma records approximately two million visitors every year, and not without reason. Other than being the only combined zoo and botanical garden in Europe, Wilhelma is home to 1,000 species of animals, one of the highest numbers in the world. The animals, reptiles, aquatic creatures and birds at Wilhelma are housed in separate themed areas; the ultra-modern Ape House is always a big hit with children. The botanical garden boasts almost 7,000 varieties of plants and Europe’s biggest magnolia grove.
