The most beautiful parks and gardens Stockholm

Millesgården houses the major works of the renowned Swedish sculptor Carl Milles, who was also a discerning art connoisseur. His personal collections of Greek and Roman antiquities, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance are worthy of the greatest interest. Temporary exhibitions are held throughout the year in this charming residence, whose terraces offer a vast view of Stockholm. A delightful café invites visitors to linger in front of a verdant garden where sculptures are reflected in the waters of the fountains.

A huge park that is located southwest of the island of Södermalm. Very lively on sunny days and dominated by large rocks. From the top the view is very beautiful. The Tanto park offers some curiosities like this red wooden house built around a big tree, or the dozens of cottages and their lovely gardens that have been blooming along the slopes of the hill since 1915. A small beach allows you to take a dip... It is the meeting place of Stockholmers who meet in groups to have a good time.

Hagaparken is a large, popular park on Lake Brunnsviken, containing architecturally remarkable structures and pavilions, part of the city's Royal National Park. Here you'll find a Chinese temple built by Gustav III, or the eco-temple built in 1790 as a dining room for the royal family on fine summer days. The park is extensive and peaceful, and has become an ideal place for outdoor jogging or yoga. You'll also find the Gustav III pavilion.

The Vasa Park is, in summer, widely visited by the inhabitants of Norrmalm. It is hard to imagine that during the First World War the site was used to grow potatoes to feed certain classes of the starving population. When the weather is fine, the lawns are full of people and the terraces of the little sheds are always full. There is a large artificial football pitch and a children's playground. The statue Arbetaren (the worker) is a tribute to the working class.

Step off the Liljeholmen metro to find a peaceful, bucolic lake surrounded by forest. Here, in summer, you can enjoy the refreshing waters of the lake for a swim and sunbathe at Trekantsbadet beach. With a walking trail along the lake, you can jog around the park followed by a refreshing dip in the cool water. In winter, when the lake is frozen, why not go ice skating? In Stockholm, it's a very popular activity with the locals, and the children's favorite!

This large park, shaded by rows of large plane trees, was created in the 16th century by King Johan III. In the past, it was used for extensive hop cultivation. A popular place of recreation and rest, it now extends behind the imposing Royal Library. In its centre is a statue dedicated to the naturalist Carl von Linné. A good place for a picnic or a nap. Take a stroll on the National Day, as impromptu concerts are held here. It is only a few metres from the famous Sturebadet
