Exhibitions and events in The Linnaean Gardens of Uppsala

Botany, history, culture and knowledge

Every year the gardens, associations and other organizers invite you to 70 different events or exhibitions in the Linnaean Gardens. At guided tours and other garden events you can learn more about Linnaeus, botany and cultivation. You can listen to music, attend theatre performances or admire art works. Several associations also offer the opportunity to exercise in the gardens: boules, taiji, yoga.

Ride your bike to Linnaeus' Hammarby or wander in the cultural reserve there.Give Qi Gong, Yoga, Taiji or boules a try in the Botanical Garden.

Buy tickets for a theatre performance or concert. Enjoy art works, beautiful flower beds and silence. Study, read a book or enjoy a tea or coffee break. In our gardens there is room for both rest and exercise!
