Where is Limassol Municipal Garden?
Limassol Municipal Garden sits on the coastal avenue in the city centre. The Municipality describes the garden as more than 100 years old, and its 60,000 m² grounds include several places to pause between the paths and trees.
The garden is about 33 minutes on foot or 8 minutes by car from a one-star hotel in Limassol. It is also home to Limassol Zoo, so you can combine a walk through the grounds with a zoo visit.
What can you see among the garden paths and green spaces?
The garden’s greenery includes eucalyptus, pine and cypress trees. Its facilities include a playground for young children and an open-air garden theatre, alongside the zoo.
The Municipality says the playground meets relevant safety standards. If you’re planning a wider walk through the centre, the garden’s central location can fit into a one-day walking route through central Limassol.
What should you know about Limassol Zoo?
Limassol Zoo is within the Municipal Garden and has animal habitats, an educational centre and a playground. A children’s corner has mini goats and sheep, and the Flamingo cafeteria is also on site.
The refurbished zoo site was inaugurated on 1 June 2012, after two years of work. Its listed address is Leoforos Vyronos, 3105 Limassol, Cyprus, and its telephone number is +357-25588345.
The zoo closes to the public on 1 January, Easter Sunday, 15 August and 25 December.

How can you combine the garden with the seafront?
The garden is on the coastal avenue and the Municipality describes the Wine Festival site as being near the sea. That location makes the garden and seafront natural parts of the same city-centre outing, without requiring you to treat them as separate destinations.
What happens during the Limassol Wine Festival?
The Limassol Wine Festival takes place in the Municipal Gardens near the sea. There is an entrance fee, payable at one of three gates, while winery tastings are free. The festival’s giant statue of a Cypriot village winegrower in traditional dress has served as its emblem since 1961.
Festival arrangements can affect a garden visit, so check the Municipality’s official information before planning around the event. The city’s calendar of Limassol events also covers the wine festival alongside other events.
Before you go
Zoo hours, admission prices and holiday closures are the main details to confirm before setting out. Check the official site before you go, especially if you plan to visit during the Wine Festival, when arrangements for the garden and zoo may differ.
