In the heart of Jerusalem lies the green and pleasant Botanical Garden. With an area of around 30 acres and containing over 6,000 plant species, it is the largest such garden in Israel. It is divided into 6 sections each one representing a geographical area, Southern Africa, Europe, North America, Australia, South-East and Central Asia, and the Mediterranean. Near the entrance, you can sit a while at the restaurant overlooking the lake which contains a variety of water lily species and visiting birds. It is one of my favorite spots in Jerusalem and a good place to unwind and relax.
