Highlights of the Botanical Garden

If you've had the pleasure of biking down the streets of Aarhus, you have probably become acquainted with the hills! The Botanical Garden is no exception. Here, the paths weave their way up and down, past ponds, tables and benches.

Follow the paths to the southern-most end of the park, where you will find the Greenhouses. Step inside and forget about the rest of the world for a moment. Here, you will find yourself in a humid heat, surrounded by fluttering butterflies and an exotic jungle with plant species from all over the world. The Greenhouses even have their own app, which is full of information and will allow you to impress others with your incredible knowledge of plants, ranging from cactuses to giant water lilies.

Good to know about the Botanical Garden

The Botanical Garden is perfectly placed in the middle of Aarhus, making it easy to reach, regardless of your location. It is therefore not far from the city's most exciting museums, the popular cafés along Åboulevarden, the bustling shops in the Latin District or Bruuns Galleri – whatever you are in the mood for.

From the southern exit to the Botanical Garden, you are just a stone's throw away from The Old Town (Den Gamle By), which will take you on an incredible journey back in time through Danish history, down authentic cobblestone roads and into charming half-timbered houses. Enjoy the smell of freshly-baked bread from the 19th century bakery, or go shopping in a shopping street from 1927.
