About Trädgårdsföreningen

Gothenburg's magnificent city garden — a 19th-century botanical park in the center of the city with a Palm House, rose garden, butterfly house, and café among the finest urban garden spaces in Scandinavia. Free most of the year; the spring cherry blossom display is one of Sweden's most beautiful.

🏔️

Slottsskogen Park

Gothenburg's most beloved park — 137 hectares of forest, meadows, ponds, and a free zoo with Scandinavian wildlife (moose, seals, penguins) in the Majorna neighborhood. Completely free to enter; the most popular outdoor space in Western Sweden and a wonderful place to understand the Gothenburg way of life.

🏔️

Southern Gothenburg Archipelago

A car-free island world 30 minutes from the city by ferry — the islands of Vrångö, Styrsö, and Brännö are all car-free and served by the city's public transit boats. The hiking, kayaking, and cliff swimming here is among the best in Sweden, and the summer atmosphere on these islands is utterly different from the city.
