The Botanical Garden: book a guided tour

You can book guided tours of the Botanical Garden throughout the year. Choose between a tour of the Tropical Greenhouse or a tour of the garden.

In 2023 the entrance at Villavägen 8 is closed. Do you plan to visit the Tropical Greenhose or Café Victoria and arrive with coach. Take into account that the walk from the arrival point to the greenhouse, via the gate at Norbyvägen, is approximately 300 meters.

During the summer months it is also possible to arrange a tour of the Linnaeus Garden (the original botanical garden on Svartbäcksgatan) or Linnaeus' Hammarby (Linnaeus’ country estate outside Uppsala).

Throughout the summer we offer scheduled guided tours in the Linnaeus garden, Linnaeus's Hammarby and the Botanical Garden.

Once a month from October to April you can attend a guided tour of the Tropical Greenhouse (in Swedish).

Updated schedule for the regular guided tours together with opening times of the three gardens.

Let our guides take you on a tour of the gardens and glasshouse, of our historic sites or Linnaeus’ homes and gardens.

Booked tours take about one hour and are always led by our own guides. Groups larger than 10 people must book a guide in advance. For the best quality of experience, groups should be 25 people or less.

All groups larger than 10 people have to book their visits in advance. 

When you book a guided tour of one of the Linnaean Gardens you pay a tour charge and reduced admission.

Guided tours are always led by our staff or guides authorised by The Linnaean Gardens of Uppsala. Please contact our booking service for questions concerning authorisation.

Are you looking for somewhere to hold a business event, conference or celebration? It would be hard to find a more magnificent venue in central Uppsala than Linneanum. The beautiful Orangery Hall and Linnésalen (Linnaeus Hall), or the grand formal garden during the summer months, provide an exciting, impressive and atmospheric setting for your event.

The venue is available to book from the beginning of May until the end of September.

The catering partner of the Orangery is Cajsa's kök. They will work with you to create a tailor-made catering arrangement that integrates the aim, theme and menu of the event into a seamless whole.
