We walked uphill from the downtown area which is not for everyone to do. There were signs along the way to guide you which way to turn. The garden was founded in the 12th Century. Dr Matteo worked..... more

Not very expensive and well worth it - a wide variety of medicinal herbs in a quiet garden with good views over Salerno. Not the easiest to find but there are signposts.

I know it was raining and at 3 euros per person,it didn’t break the bank. But to me the place needed some tlc. The plants looked half dead, the box hedge certainly don’t look like the picture here...

Could not recommend highly enough. Fantastic, beautiful, and simple. It wasn't overly crowded and the paths were stunning. There's a shop that sells tea made from the herbs grown there. It's a peaceful place with a good view of the city. I loved it so much I went twice, and would definitely make a point to go again if I ever return to Salerno.

Stunning garden with 5 terraces and lots of history. Beautiful views of the city. Great explanation of the way botany and medicine were linked and how doctors used to treat illnesses. Feels like a hidden gem as even in the height of summer so few people were there

What a delight with beautiful views, picturesque garden walkways, and even better, the elevator works to whisk you up to this special place. The video about the site's history has English subtitles, so you can learn the unique history. Do not miss it.

One of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever visited. Definitely worth the 1€ entrance. Gives you the prettiest views of Salerno.

Giardino della Minerva is located in the city of Salerno. It’s a great place, we were walking in the old town and found this amazing garden filled with flowers. It is a really must go attraction in Salerno.
