ELTE Fűvészkert

The Botanical Garden in Budapest is Hungary first botanical garden, which has been operating since 2006 as a special educational unit of Eötvös Loránd University in district VIII of Budapest, at 25 Illés Street in Józsefváros. The botanical garden, founded in 1771 in Nagyszombat to help the training of medical science and medical students, has been located in its current location since 1847, after several moves. The fact that in Ferenc Molnár's well-known novel, The Boys of Pál Street, the old palm house of the botanical garden provided a hiding place for Ernő Nemecsek and his friends significantly contributed to his notoriety. The name "Botanical Garden", which has been an official name since 2008, has been preserved and spread in the public consciousness thanks to this novel.
