Far more than just a city brimming with cultural attractions, Gothenburg boasts numerous parks and gardens ideal for relaxation amidst your explorations.

Sweden’s coastal treasure is brimming with lush, expansive parks, each more enchanting than the last. These verdant havens hold historical significance as well. Among them stands out the Trädgårdsföreningen, established in 1842 by the Garden Society and featuring over 6,000 rose bushes. Notably stunning is its conservatory filled with tropical plants. Throughout the year, this botanical paradise comes alive; from camellias adorning the landscape in February to enormous water lilies dominating the scene come July.

Close by, the Botanical Garden serves as a serene haven with numerous meandering trails, expansive green spaces, and colorful floral arrangements. Established for public access in 1923, it is famous for its impressive rock garden and collection of 5,000 plant species gathered from various corners of the globe.

To find an activity suitable for everyone in your family, visit Slottsskogen Park, ideal for leisurely walks with its complimentary zoo and expansive play area sure to engage children for extended periods. If you're looking to extend your exploration further, consider visiting Gunnebo House, a grand residence from the 1700s located only a few miles northeast of Gothenburg. The house boasts beautiful French formal gardens which remain accessible to tourists throughout the entire year.
