"It’s a sign of just how revered Carl Linnaeus is in Sweden that for many years many people had a picture of him, and his garden, in their pocket. That's because the botanist, who is famed for creating the two-name system for classifying plants and animals, adorned the 100-krona banknote for many years. It’s easy to visit the garden where he did his research, as the town of Uppsala can be reached in less than 40 minutes by train. The garden was originally laid out in 1655, then redesigned by Linnaeus in 1745. You can also visit his former home, now the Linnaeus Museum. Asfor the banknotes: In 2017 Linnaeus was replaced by Greta Garbo."

The garden is really beautiful with a wide range of plant species and it shows a wonderful glimpse of the scientist's life as well. Also, it's absolutely free for Uppsala University students, you just need to bring your university ID card (or some concrete proof that you are admitted to the university as a student)

Beautiful garden even if it is the end of summer (27/08/2018) and most plants are already dying back. Very well explained and presented. The house/museum itself is a little gem. Take advantage of the free audio guide. Even if sometimes the explanations might seem long, they increase the knowledge and understanding of Linnaeus and his family, the period during which they lived and his discoveries and studies as well as the importance of his classification for modern science and every day botany.

Linnaeus Garden is a very special place. It is part of the rich history of Carl Von Linné and houses very many of the plants he researched in his lifetime. You can learn a lot about the plants and his life in this garden. Take one of the guided tours and enjoy the views. Recommended to visit in summer time when most of the plants are in bloom. It's also good yo visit Linnés hammarby. Which is the place where he lived just outside Uppsala.

A must-visit in Uppsala, especially because they are only open from May to September! Some of the succulents and Mediterranean trees from Linneanum were brought to the orangery yard to get much needed sun in the summer. Make sure to get the guided tour to learn more about the organization of the plants, and Linnaeus' life and work (please check their website for schedule) The garden itself is very pretty in the summer, and the three ponds simulating river, lake, and marshlands are the highlight of the garden. Ticket to Linneträdgården includes visit to Museum and Linnes Hammarby, which is worth to visit as well.

A wonderful place to visit in Uppsala city, Sweden. We have had a guided tour to the garden and to the old building as well, where you will discover great stories about "Anders Celsius" the man behind the "Celsius" temperature scale of today. Indeed, it was everlasting moment.

Only for those interested and already familiar with the work of Linnaeus. Otherwise it's the least interesting garden I've visited in Sweden.

Excellent museum celebrating the legacy of Carl Linnaeus. There has been a lot of effort to maintain the exposition and the garden. This is a must for lovers of botany and the history of biology in general.

Visited in May, it’s pretty cool to visit this place when you learn who he is. The kids also enjoyed following the hare around.
