Just off Independence Square, these gardens run lengthwise along the Main busy road and offer the pedestrian a great alternative to pavements. We walked up to the botanical gardens using this route. Lots of seats, well laid out, lovely trees and plants. Statues abound and it really is a delightful walk, or a quiet sit down as you enjoy the gardens. Recommend!
