Botaniska Tradgarden (Botanical Gardens), Malmo

The Botanical Garden, part of Lund University, boasts a distinctive collection of over 7,000 diverse plants, flowers, and trees. Established in 1690 at a different location (currently occupied by Lund University's main building), the garden was later relocated to its present site around a century later. By 1868, the majority of the plants had been successfully transferred.

Spanning 8 hectares, the garden features university buildings, the Botanical Museum, artworks by Swedish artists and The Yellow Villa. The historic villa is known for its distinct yellow color and has become an iconic part of the botanical garden's landscape. The garden continues to serve as a research hub for Lund University.

At the heart of the Lund Botanical Garden stands a conservatory greenhouse housing over 2,000 plant and tree species from nine distinct climate zones, including those from deserts and rainforests. The greenhouse, dating back to 1865, offers a unique opportunity to experience diverse climates, and adjacent to it is the Orangerie, hosting regular plant-related exhibitions. The greenhouse is open daily from 11 am to 3 pm, and admission is free.

Amidst the garden, adjacent to the conservatory, lies Café Botan, an ideal spot for fika (Swedish coffee break) or simply to relax while exploring. Open during the summer months, Café Botan is part of the renowned Patisseriet.
