    The palm house as it’s called is a house located in a natural park in Gothenburg, filled with plants of different species, entrance is free and yes it’s a perfect place to appreciate nature through plants.

    Great place to picnic specially if you don’t have the luxury of time to travel far from the city. It’s in the heart of Göteborg. The place was busy when we went there because of preparations for a concert the next day but still a good place to have your afternoon summer walk. The playground was a hit to the kids.

    Good place to visit from the train station. See the free palm house in the green house. Great signs of Allah to make a person think. Alhamdulilah. Only 4 minutes from the train station. Reminds me of the gardens of paradise. Peaceful and place to thank and praise Allah. Look at how the fruit ripens. Must visit several times. Thank you.

    A beautiful park that you must visit, whether you live in Gothenburg or you are there on vacation. The park has big green areas, beautiful flowers, big green trees and other plants, it also has big and small fountains. There are toilet facilities, which are free. The parks cafeteria also has delicious food and cakes, but be aware that there may not be available seats inside of the cafeteria.

    Lots of fun to be here during sunny days. Nice park to walk around in or just sit at. They have a lot of great and secluded areas to sit at. Despite being at the centre of the city, it’s very quiet and peaceful. If you want something to eat or drink they have one cafeteria in the middle of the park and one at the entrance of the park towards avenyn. It’s nice in the palm house, with a lot of different plants. They also have a indoor “pool” with fishes and water based plants. You can also see how bees work during the summer. Overall a very nice place to visit if you want to get away from the city and connect a bit with nature while’s still being in the city.

    Large park in the center of Gothenburg that sits along a beautiful canal and is filled with beautiful flowers, walking paths, water features and an amazing hothouse for palms and many other exotic plants A fun place to spend time sitting in the grass or on a bench enjoying the smells of the fresh flowers on a warm sunny day.

    Very nice garden and green house. It’s been a treat to have a short visit during this winter time when the weather’s cold raining and not being bright for long time. Good to see so many green colours. The playground is wonderful for kids too. We enjoyed the visit.

    Sehr schöner Garten mit Tropenhaus das leider schon Etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist. Nett für einen Kurzen Spaziergang. Es befinden sich noch zwei Toiletten Häuser in der Anlage die man Kostenlos benutzen kann.

  • 5/5 Erica B. 5 years ago on Google
    Well kept place. There is a huge variety of plants. The rosarium was the best part though. It is nice to walk there. There also are a lot of places were you can enjoy some food. Lovely and romantic atmosphere.

  • 5/5 akansha a. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Csilla R. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful park, wonderful place for a walk in the heart of the city. Small branches, sitting and eating possibilities are available. The waterside offers shades for pickniks and also the hilly landscape creates a good feeling of privacy. Definitely worth a visit when you want to relax.

  • 4/5 Alexander L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice place and lovely playground. What they could do a little better is the lighting in the evenings. Very dark park (Original) Fin plats och härlig lekplats. Det som de kunde göra lite bättre är belysningen på kvällarna. Väldigt mörk park

  • 5/5 Sam O. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely gardens. Peaceful and expansive. Cool greenhouse area in the centre, too. We walked through here lots of times in our couple of days in Gothenburg

  • 5/5 Nastja P. 2 years ago on Google
    A breathtaking place especially in the late spring when a rose garden is in full blossom. Inside of the park there is a botanical garden and the entrance is free.

  • 4/5 Efrem E. 2 years ago on Google
    I decided to use 5 ⭐️ because of; Horticultual Society it was really awesome place to visit and to see many different flower from different countries around the world 🌎 Very good 😌 even if it was little small, but is interesting 🤔 to visit. Entry was free. Everything was perfect 👌

  • 5/5 K V. 2 years ago on Google
    The garden is beautiful and is just a 3min walk from Gothenburg central station. If you just want to pass your time before catching your train, this could be a very nice place to just sit and admire the beautiful flowers and nature.

  • 5/5 Pooja J. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a nice walk during summers. The entire park was blooming and so much variety. I was so amazed by some of the flowers and plants that i came across. So so so well maintained. So much efforts must have gone into creating this and maintaining it before each bloom. Must visit during the months of June-July!

  • 4/5 Tomas R. 2 years ago on Google
    A beautiful public park that's quite small in size yet offer many different areas to walk about and enjoy. Its divided up into two areas where one side offers some open areas and is mostly made up of the usual swedish fauna. The other side, though, is an interconnected web of green and lush paths of a more unusual variety of fauna where you can saunter about, enjoy some quality time by yourself, friends, your family or - what I'd recommend - a romantic partner. The different paths offer everything from the typical collection of swedish fauna to a more exotic variety that's carefully maintained to offer an experience quite unlike other parks you'll find in the city. The park also houses a restaurant, café and a peculiar place called "Palmhuset".

  • 5/5 Tamás L. 1 year ago on Google
    Scenic park in the center of Göteborg. A great place to stroll around and have a picnic or just rest. Hides a very nice, but rather small playground . The Rose Garden is well worth a visit, as is the Palm House. A real green gem.

  • 5/5 Izzy C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very beautiful for a walk even in December. Warm up in the glasshouse & see the lovely plants & statues. Well worth the visit & very romantic. I will definitely make the effort to stop by on my next visit.

  • 5/5 Wilgefortis O. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place for social gatherings or contemplation! I particularly liked the rose garden and the palm house - it’s much similar to the one in the Kew Gardens in Britain. The weather can be nice and birds feel very comfortable here. I could observe a blackbird from a few steps, it seemed to really liked its bushy home.

    The Garden Society of Gothenburg, Trädgårdsföreningen, is one of the best preserved 19th century parks in Europe. Here you can find thousands of roses, carpet beddings and lush woodlands. The palm house from 1878 houses exotic plants in a Mediterranean climate. For 170 years the Garden Society of Gothenburg has been an oasis of greenery in the heart of Gothenburg, a place to relax and be invigorated. Today it is one of the best-preserved nineteenth-century parks in Europe, where rolling lawns, historic buildings and ornamental gardens featuring exotic and indigenous plants take you back to the golden age of horticulture.

  • 5/5 Dimitris P. 7 months ago on Google
    Well preserved greenhouse with a decent variety of different plants and trees from different environments from around the world. Surprisingly in the middle of town and very relaxing to visit from time to time. Also the area around it is very clean and pretty. If you enjoy nature, this is worth a visit.

  • 3/5 Ciprian P. 1 year ago on Google
    Recently been to Aarhus botanical garden (also free) and it doesn't compare. You don't have indicators at Palmhuset, some explanations just in swedish. All the place seemed crowded. A lot of closed buildings in the park..no functional toilet (out of season).. so what ? Good for a walk if you have more time but not on the list of priorities.

  • 5/5 Simon the D. 7 months ago on Google
    Incredible botanical garden with a panoply of different plants divided into divers parts. Don't miss the rose garden or the palm greenhouse. There's a great playground for kids as well. Wonderful place

  • 4/5 Krzysztof Z. 10 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Dragan D. 4 years ago on Google
    Definitely worth seeing! Especially when most of the roses blossom. You can spend whole day enjoying in the diversity of the flowers, especially roses, and trees. There are few lovely small secluded places with a bench or two - so you can read or study in peace or just enjoy being alive.

  • 5/5 Cristofaro P. 4 years ago on Google
