Gothenburg Botanical Garden
Göteborgs botaniska trädgård
One of Sweden's largest botanical gardens, with a rock garden, a Japanese valley and greenhouses housing about 16,000 plant species.
Opened in 1923, the garden covers about 175 hectares, including a nature reserve. Its rock garden is considered one of the finest in Europe. Other features include a bamboo grove, a Japanese valley, a rhododendron valley and greenhouses, where you can see the toromiro tree from Easter Island, now extinct in the wild. Entry is free (the greenhouses charge a small fee). The garden is right next to Slottsskogen park, so the two can be visited together. Take a tram to Botaniska Trädgården station.
