Accès

Bogor Botanical Gardens sits right in the centre of Bogor, about 60 km south of Jakarta. The main entrance is on Jl. Ir. H. Juanda. If you’re coming from Jakarta, the simplest route is to take the commuter line (KRL) from Jakarta Kota, Manggarai, or Sudirman to Bogor Station (1). From the station it’s a short walk or a quick ride by angkot or taxi to the garden’s main gate.

The gardens are open Monday to Friday from 08.00 to 16.00, and on weekends from 07.00 to 16.00. Admission is about €/$ 3 per person. There are many paths to explore the gardens. On the map you see a 5 km circular walk, but this is just a suggestion, there are many other paths you can follow.
