The city of Gothenburg holds a number of fine parks and this is the top one beating the more central Trädgårdsföreningen (also very nice) thrugh it´s size and versatility. From the heights of the park you have wonderful views over parts of the city and it´s harbour. You can enjoy really long walks if you like since the prak seamlessly... More

We visited on a very cold day so only toured the greenhouses. They have a great selection of plants from all around the world. The cost of admission is inexpensive and if you're aged 25 or less you don't have to pay. I especially enjoyed the succulents house (cacti) and the orchids. It a short trip on the number 7... More

The Botanical Garden lies near the very big Slottskogen and features lots and lots and lots of plants and flowers. It is quite pleasant and picturesque to walk in. As I am not much of a flower lover, I have been there once in five years, and this is approximately a sufficient interval for me. But for people who are... More

Gothenburg botanical garden is one of the largest in Europe. I is about 1 750 000 square meters and houses about 16 000 species. Ängårdsbergen nature reserve next to it also houses the Arboretum (tree collection). It is about 6000 trees of about 300 species from Europe, Asia and North America. From the beginning the aim of this arboretum was... More

Beautifully laid out and with some excellent greenhouse exhibits, the Botaniska Tradgarden is well worth the visit for nature lovers and a wonderful location to share tea or coffee with a friend.

From the outward appearance, it seemed that there would be a fee for entering the gardens. If there is, consider my review a three star review or just sneak in, both good. The gardens themselves are quite vast with a large greenhouse and a concert venue on the side. Most of the plants appear to be native to the northern... More

Gothenburgs botanical garden boasts most ordinary and some very different plants, flowers and trees. They are arranged around different themes, like the herbs garden or rock landscape. This is a great place for a romantic walk, Sunday family outing, pick-nick or learning experience.

I don't know anything about flowers, but I found this to be a very wonderful place to spend an hour. Very pretty. Nice greenhouses and outdoor exhibits.

A bit like the RHS gardens at Wisley, a bit like Kew Gardens - just lovely to wander around with options for short or long walks. Well worth a visit (but mind the midgies!).
