Aarhus Botanical Garden
Botanisk Have
A city botanical garden beside the open-air Old Town Museum, with a tropical greenhouse dome where you can see rainforest plants and butterflies.
The botanical garden dates from 1873 and includes a rock garden, a herb garden and a lake. The newly built tropical greenhouse dome displays rainforest, desert and Mediterranean plants, and butterflies often flutter about. Entry is free. It sits right beside the open-air Old Town Museum, so you can combine both in one half-day. Locals often picnic on the lawns.
Opening hours
Park open all day; greenhouse approx. 09:00–16:00 (closed Mondays)
