    Beautiful and magical place - even if the weather is not perfect. Very well maintained and structured garden. Lots of explanations. Great to get lost on for hours. Many different areas and themes.

    Largest botanical garden in the Nordic countries I believe, with thousands of pant species if not millions, I am not much into botany I would have listed some of the plants I saw, sometimes the mouth can’t explain what the eyes have seen, why not go there and check it for yourself, definitely worth visiting…see you there 😉

    One of my favorite places in Gothenburg. Whenever I feel low, I either go for a walk through the nature reserve or just walk to my favourite lookout point. I know most people go there for the botanical beauty. So i guess its a win for both kind of people.

    Beautiful botanical garden! Free entry. I came last time in winter and there was nothing, but this time I come in August, the garden is filled with numerous, various and colorful flowers, herbs and trees. The entrance is closed to the tram station, or you can go from Sahlgrenska hospital by walking. Love this place (in summer)😝

    This place is celebrating its 100 anniversary this year (2023). It is building new greenhouses, so not all of the garden is fully accessible and maintained. It has lovely walks around the grounds, a cafe and a shop. It has free access but a voluntary donation can be made.

    One of the must visits for Gothenburg. Always a beauty to come see nature any time of year. If you need to relax then come here, the entrnce areas are usually quite packed with people but go further into the park and you'll find your own secret part of the botanical gardens, every trip here is an adventure to find new areas to explore and call your own. Don't miss the indoor tropical area with plants and trees from far and wide. Be careful not to be eaten by the flesh eating plants or hurt yourself of the prickly cacti. In the spring is the Japanese festival of the cherry blossoms, Hanami. This event is filled with lots of inspired activities from the other side world along with then they release the beautiful koi into the entrance pond.

    Lovely little restaurant here in the botanical guarden. A bit pricey though, so keep that in mind. However, you are of course paying for more than just the food. It is a lovely experience to be able to sit outside in such an environment. Furthermore, the food was also very tasty with generous portions. Lovely staff as well!

  • 5/5 Ben W. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the gems of Göteborg. Rarely is this place overly crowded which makes it the perfect place to escape to. The gardens themselves are beautiful and the whole place has a relaxing and calm vibe. Tip: check out the viewing spot towards the back of the gardens. It's a little bit of a climb but it will give you phenomenal views over the west of the city. Tip #2: Combine your visit with a trip to Slottskogen across the road. Especially if you have kids, as you can take them to the petting zoo and playground. Making this double combo a very cheap but memorable day out.

    Botaniska Trädgården i Göteborg. It's a botanical garden in Gothenburg with unique trees, flowers, birds, hills, waterfall, lake, greenhouse and an organic cafe. I had to wear a flower tiara to feel more in nature. :P It's one of the best experience I've had in Gothenburg, Sweden. I just love this place. Best part is, the entry is absolutely free for everyone. :D The area in total is 430 acres, of which most constitutes a nature reserve including the arboretum and here grow around 12,000 different species and cultivars in various parts of it. In the Greenhouses you will find about 4,000 various species and cultivars, including some 1,500 orchids, a remarkable travertine department and the rare Eastern Island Tree.

    Perfect stay for family, singles, seniors, etc. When you come through the gate you find the toilets on the right side and the information and shop on the left. In the shop you can buy ice cream (this is a first stop for parents with kids). The garden ist full with lovely flowers and interesting and rare trees, like the japanese cake tree. You can take your time and take the best walk of your life there. The air smells unbelievably good - even my kids were surprised. There are a lot of areas to rest and eat. A small restaurant is also in the garden (there are toilets too).

  • 5/5 Tharindu P. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently visited Gothenburg Botanical Garden during the second week of April, and its serene beauty blew me away. The entrance greeted me with various flowers, although some were still waiting to bloom. The well-designed layout and upcoming renovations to the greenhouse promised an even better experience in the future. There is a shop near the entrance to buy souvenirs, seeds, and plants. The free entry with an option to donate 30 SEK was a nice touch. The peaceful environment, well-maintained pathways, and lush greenery made for a delightful stroll. The attention to detail in the garden's design and maintenance was evident. I can't wait to witness the garden in full bloom during the peak season.

    Zunächst war ich aufgrund diverser Kommentare skeptisch. Jedoch wurde ich eines besseren belehrt. Es ist einer der schönsten Gärten, welche ich besucht habe. Sehr gut gepflegt, mit verschiedenen Themen. Er gibt auch Anregung für Änderungen im eigenen Garten. Empfehlen würde ich aufgrund der geringen Anzahl an Parkplätzen früh anzukommen.

  • 4/5 Alina 8 months ago on Google • 31 reviews
    Sehr schön angelegt, alles sehr gepflegt und sauber. Es lohnt sich vorbei zuschauen! Lediglich das Café ist etwas hochpreisig für augenscheinlich kleine Portionen. Wir haben nur zwei Kaffee getrunken für 84 KR.

    One of the best botanical gardens I must say. It's very vast and peaceful. Have hundreds of plant varieties from different countries. Also this place is hardly crowded at any season so one can have ample amount of time exploring the garden. Toilets are installed at the entrance gate which are easy t access.

  • 5/5 Linda W. 3 years ago on Google
    Botaniska Trädgården in Gothenburg Sweden is a must visit place whilst you are in Gothenburg. It has different sections of flowers. For instance, the Japanese gardening, the American, the British etc. The most beautiful thing about gardens or parks or resort recreational places in Sweden is that whilst they come whole beautiful, they also come astonishingly natural; Calm. You do not only see nature you feel nature. Whilst San Francisco has a big beautiful garden, the differences with the ones in Sweden is that they are less populated. Given my family ties to Sweden when I need to zoom out from London I come to Sweden for a weekend or holidays.

  • 5/5 Nåmis L. 3 years ago on Google

    Beautiful Fall colors

  • 5/5 Ela C. 2 years ago on Google
    This is one of my favorite places in Gothenburg. I will for sure come back when it's summer time. They have different varieties of plants and flowers. You will be amazed how well maintained and well cared the plants are. You will enjoy reading the names of the plants and flowers and appreciate their beauty. It's such a big place so it's easy to spend whole day here. There's a trail that you can follow in the forest. We actually saw a red squirrel when we were here. It's very quite and such a relaxing place to take a short or long walk. They have a playground for your children as well. Such a perfect place for a Sunday picnic for the whole family. They also have a restaurant if you don't feel having a picnic here. You can also buy flowers and plants in the shop or they call it nursery. I actually bought different colors of tulips. This is one of the few places in Gothenburg that you shouldn't miss.

Visited Candow's collections of daylilies, irises and funkis at Stallbacken.

    It was a nice garden on a hill. It’s a bit out of the way. If you run out of places to go around Gothenburg and need some fresh air, you can go have coffee or lunch in the garden which could be nice.
