The Trompenburg Arboretum botanical gardens are beautifully laid out with a large collection of trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs and tubers. Trompenburg covers seven hectares and offers fantastic gardens for not only plant experts, but also walkers in search of peace and quiet in the busy city. Guided walks are available on request. Visitors can drop by De Uithoek tea room for a bite to eat and a drink. Special activities and workshops are organised regularly in the gardens. Trompenburg Tuinen may only be accessed on foot and it is suitable for wheelchair users. Dogs are not allowed.
