Gaze at Flowers in a Rosarium, a Botanical Garden, & Play in a City Park

Enjoy and nice warm breakfast before heading on the road!

Parking costs, but it's relatively cheap. You can spend around 45 SEK for over 20 hours. The machines and throughout Sweden, they usually have English as an option language. This is right next to the garden and the lake. Take a nice stroll and enjoy the beauty of nature while you venture up to the garden.

Take a step away from the busy life, and relax in this area near Vättern lake. While I was here, I felt a calmness wash over me as I enjoyed the roses in a variation of color. Walking around this area helped my worries ease and rejuvenated me to begin my journey again! The best time to see the roses is in the Summer. But I've been here in the winter, and I loved the view of the lake from this area. This place is open all year round. Phone: +4636105000 Rosenlund Rosarium

Walk back to the parking lot for your car and start your journey to the city park!

Since you're in Sweden, you must try their rendition of pizza! Try out the homemade kebab pizza or curry. Once you walk in the doors, the smell of pizza will be wafting in the air making your mouth start to water. The pizzas come with a little salad that is usually put on each slice. Then you can even add a sauce to dip it in. It's a whole new experience with pizza!

Free parking and pretty near the city park!

This is a great place for kids, but it can be enjoyed for all ages. There's a spectacular view of Jonköping here and they even have a maze you can venture through. Take in the old buildings that are spread out and wander to see some of the animals they have! If you want to see a map or learn more about this park, check out their website. If you're also having trouble finding a place to park, they have other options on their website as well. Jonköping Stadspark

Pick up your vehicle and head back on the road!

Stop at this supermarket and grab some yummy food for a picnic! Maybe get some snacks that you can enjoy on the road trip as well.

This is a cheap parking area and pretty near the botanical garden.

When I found this place, I was lucky to be here in the season that dogs are allowed. The colors were vibrant of all the flowering plants and what's great is that it's free. But donations are highly recommended. There's a place that has all kinds of herbs, another area of plants from other countries, and overall, there are 16,000 species of plants here. The best time to visit would be spring or summer time. Sweden has sunlight in the summer for up to 24 hours. But that's farther north. In Gothenburg, there's sunlight around 19 hours! Find a pleasant place to have your picnic! Phone: +46104737777 Botanical Garden

Don't forget your car! Now it's time to get out of the city.

Cuddle up in these tiny cottages and leave the busy city. There's free parking here (be sure to ask) and it's a great place to wind down before heading back on the road. It's good to book this ahead, since they have a lot of music events here. Phone: +46707891701 Email: info@cafetorpet.se Cafe Torpet B&B (Only in Swedish)
