How to Get to Botanisk Have #

Botanisk Have is reachable by local buses from central Aarhus and is bicycle-friendly-Aarhus’ cycle network brings riders close to the garden entrances. Driving is possible; look for signs to the University and the botanical grounds.

Tips for Visiting Botanisk Have #

Visit in late spring when the garden's experimental beds and glasshouses are in full bloom; the on-site plant labels are useful for anyone curious about Scandinavian cultivars.
If coming from central Aarhus, take bus routes serving the University area or cycle-the city's bike network drops you close to the entrances.
Look for the collection of alpine plants and the greenhouses: these are the kinds of displays that often get overlooked by day-trippers.
