Visit Carl Linnaeus´ homes and gardens
Carl Linnaeus, the Flower King, studied, researched, taught and lived in Uppsala for almost 50 years. He is constantly present and enriches both the everyday lives of Uppsala’s residents and the tourists’ journeys of discovery through the unique legacy he left behind in our parks and gardens.
Visit the Linnaeus Garden or stroll along one of the eight Linnaeus Trails that offer joy of discovery, knowledge and exercise. Almost 350 of the species that Linnaeus put on show still exist along these trails over ridges, along fields and on riverbanks.
