For those who love plants, flowers and history, this is the place. We loved it! The garden is not huge, but it is lovely indeed. And the exhibition in the old house of Linnaeus is great as well.

Uppsala University Main Building

The University Main Building is situated in the center of the town, close to the cathedral. It was built in the 1880s and today it is used for lectures, conferences, concerts and academic festivities.

This’s accessible by foot from The Uppsala Central Station. Do not miss it when you’re in Uppsala. The beautiful architecture, coupled with the flowers and blue sky portrayed a picturesque scene. It reminded me of my university day. It’s a pity that I did not do enough reading while visiting and only discovered what I missed after I was home.

SLU Kunskapsparken

Kunskapsparken (The Knowledge Garden) is a demonstration facility for teaching and research at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Uppsala, but it is also a space for recreation and inspiration – open to all. In brief Kunskapsparken extends over 20,000 square metres and is part of the new campus at SLU in Uppsala. The character of the park varies in four main areas: The southern area is called Staden (the City) and adjoins the Logen restaurant at Ultuna. This area is characteristically strict, densely planted and shaded, with vegetation that blends into the urban environment. Staden leads to Trädgården, (the Garden), which is more open and less regimented. Here there are hedges and beds of perennial flowers. Adjoining Trädgården the visitor will find Ullbo Woodland Garden. Further north there is Odlingen (the plantation), which is an experimental area, comprising theOktavia pavilion. Also, you find 14 lawn grass species and a Rosarium with healthy and hardy roses that do not need so much tending.
