Guided walks

All our tours are designed to suit the needs and wishes of your group. At Fredriksdal there are several to choose from, including horticultural tours, cultural history tours or perhaps a little of everything.

1. Fredriksdals walk
An entertaining presentation of Fredriksdals museums and gardens, covering both cultural history and the natural world. When the fields are in bloom we will wander through the abundant flora, and as autumn draws near one can see some of our 130 different types of fruit ripening on the trees. Enrich your sense of smell in the herb and spice garden, while discovering all about the use of spices in folklore. Listen to the history of the people and the Manor House from the 18th century and why Fredriksdal came to be. During the walk you will certainly meet some of our traditional livestock, and we end our walk either in the town's old quarter or on a rustic farm.

Price: 1150 SEK per hour/guide (max. 40 persons/guide) + admission

2. Garden Walk
Our first visit is to the rose garden after which we stroll through the French and English parks. Our tour takes us into our unique botanical landscape garden where you can experience the rich variety of Scania's (Skåne's) countryside. The tour is varied according to the time of year so that visitors are able to experience the changes in the world of nature.

3. Cultural History Tour
Your guide will talk about life as it used to be in the town and countryside and you will be able to experience both manor house surroundings and peasant culture. The walk includes a visit to Lillaryd, a rustic farm dating from the 17th century where we can get a picture of what it was like to live and work the land in a country settlement of the time. The traditional country breeds are well suited to this lifestyle. We continue to the old town quarter and look in on the traditional craft workshops.

Price: 1250 SEK per hour/guide (max 40 persons/guide) + admission

Specialist tours for those with special interests and some existing knowledge:

1. Roses
Our rose expert will take you through our fantastic rose garden and learn for example, the characteristic features of different varieties of rose or why some roses have masses of sepals and stems. Listen to an entertaining history of rose names and their origins and take the opportunity to get handy hints and tips on looking after your roses.

2. Natural landscape garden
Fredriksdal's botanical garden is the only natural landscape garden in the Nordic countries. We display Scania's (Skåne's) wild plants partly in a themed garden and partly in a display that nature chose for itself. Join our plant ecologist on an entertaining and informative walk for a closer look at some common and some unusual varieties.
