Introduction
Founded in 1842, the Garden Society of Gothenburg is one of Europe's best-preserved 19th-century parks. At its heart stands the Palm House, a Crystal Palace-inspired structure of glass and cast iron that glows in the sun, while thousands of roses take their summer turns in the rosarium. Bounded by a canal and sitting right beside the city's main avenue, this free historic garden is where Gothenburg locals jog, picnic and read.
