Linnéträdgården

Getting around: Linnéträdgården is in central Uppsala, an easy 10-minute walk from the train station.
Hours: The garden is typically open daily in the warmer months (roughly May-September), with the adjoining museum keeping shorter, separate hours — check current schedule as winter access is limited.

Linnéträdgården is Uppsala's botanical garden as it was laid out by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century, restored to reflect his original classification-based design, with the adjoining Linnaeus Museum housed in his former residence. It's a compact, historically specific garden rather than a large modern botanical collection, of particular interest to anyone curious about the history of botanical science.
