The Botanical Garden in Uppsala is a wonderful destination for anyone who loves plants, nature and peace and quiet. Just about 30 minutes from S\u00f6derfors, you’ll find this green oasis with over 8,000 plant species spread across the grounds. It’s a perfect day out for both plant enthusiasts and anyone who simply wants to relax on a bench with a packed lunch.<\/p>\n
The highlight is the tropical greenhouse, where you can step into completely different climates and see plants that otherwise only grow far away. The greenhouse is open until 15:00, so it’s worth planning to visit it first when you arrive.<\/p>\n
The area is excellent for families with children \u2013 there’s plenty of space to run around, and many opportunities to spot wildlife. Visitors often report seeing squirrels, hares, cats and a rich variety of birds. There are free toilets on the grounds, which is convenient for longer visits.<\/p>\n
The garden is open from 07:00 to 19:00 every day of the week, so you can fit in a visit on the way to work or during a relaxed afternoon outing. Entry to the greenhouse costs 60 kronor. There’s also a caf\u00e9 on site if you want a coffee break, though visitors note that prices are somewhat high.<\/p>\n
The greenhouse sometimes closes earlier than the park, so if that’s mainly where you want to go, it’s worth arriving in good time. Many appreciate that the area is well marked with information about flowers and shrubs, though some visitors have noted that signs are sometimes placed by the wrong plant. There’s a free garden to walk around outside the greenhouse \u2013 perfect if you just want a stroll without going inside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
