Take a look

Stroll through tropical greenhouses, past orange trees and koi carp. Hortus Overzee is a green oasis in the center of Den Helder.

Japanese garden full of tranquility

The largest Japanese garden in the Netherlands is right here in the city. With flowing water, stone bridges, and turtles, it's a place to relax. This garden was designed by experts from Kyoto.

In the tropical greenhouse, you'll find plants from all over the world: palms, orchids, agaves, and more. The cacti and potted plants are also impressive. Keep an eye out for the butterflies in the butterfly house!
