AUGUSTENBORG BOTANICAL GARDEN

Parks and gardens

Eccentric and eco-friendly! Augustenborg, a small district of Malmö, has turned into «Ecoparc», the main attraction of which is the creation of an aerial botanical garden! Understand that the garden was built on the roofs of some buildings in the neighbourhood. You can even learn to make your own green roof!

PILDAMMSPARKEN

Parks and gardens

The lungs of the city. This huge park with a large lake was built to host the Nordic Exhibition in 1914, which was a phenomenal success. Today, it is a favourite with joggers, picnickers and dog walkers. Over the years, the park has seen a number of sculptures added. Traditional sculptures include Galathea by Nils Möllerberg and Kastanj by Bertil Nilsson. The latest sculpture, Iron by Hiroshi Koyama, pleases some and provokes others. You be the judge of what you think!

Parks and gardens

The result is a modern splendor with a very Swedish minimalism: canals running along the streets, lush plazas, floating houses made of glass, wood or steel, vast lawns... and the possibility to dive directly into the Baltic Sea from Daniaparken.

CASTLE PARK AND KING'S PARK

Parks and gardens

The King's Park is located at the western edge of the old town, separated from the Castle Park by the Parkkanalen and from the city by Slottsgatan. An amusing detail: the castle is located in the King's Park and not in the Castle Park. It is true that there is not much difference between the two spaces, arranged in the English style from 1872 and connected by one or two footbridges. They are both a pleasant place to walk.
