Uppsala Gardens – Destination Uppsala

Uppsala Gardens

Uppsala in the Uppland region of Sweden, is a short journey from Stockholm and close to all the attractions of central Sweden. We recently posted about the Uppsala Botanical Garden, but this is just one of many gardens in unparalleled Uppsala.

Uppsala Gardens: Stadsträdgården

Uppsala’s city park is along the bank of the Fryis river, which runs through Uppsala. The first trees were planted in the garden towards the end of the 19th century since then it has remained much loved. Top attraction within the garden is the Island of Bliss (Lycksalighetens ö), at the centre of the garden and a good place for a ‘fika’: the summer café.

Uppsala Gardens: Botaniska trädgården

The Grand Baroque Uppsala Botanical Garden (Botaniska trädgården) has species from around the world ranging from the rare Doronicum cataractarum within the grounds to banana plants and coffee bushes in the and rainforest plants in the Tropiska Växthuset (tropical greenhouse).

Uppsala Gardens: Linnaeus Garden

A green oasis in the centre of Uppsala. The botanist, naturist, ecologist and physician Carl Linnaeus studied for his degree at the University of Uppsala and later became a professor there. There could be no better treat for anyone with an interest in taxonomy than a visit to Linnaeus’s own garden in Uppsala.
