(0)
Ulriksdal Castle Park is a large green parkland surrounding Ulriksdal Palace in Solna, Sweden. The park is known for its open lawns, tree-lined paths, and relaxed atmosphere, making it a great place for walking, picnics, and enjoying nature close to Stockholm.

What to See & Do

  • 🚶 Walk along the peaceful park paths 🌲 stretching from the formal Baroque parterres to the English-style romantic woods 🌳
  • 🧘 Relax on the open green lawns 🍃 once used for royal masquerades and now perfect for sunbathing or sports 🏸
  • 🏰 Enjoy the best views of Ulriksdal Palace 📸 from the “Queen’s Avenue” (Drottningallén) or the waterfront 🌊
  • 🧺 Picnic with family or friends 🥪 on the large lawns near the “Blackamoors Pulling a Net” group of sculptures 🗿
  • 🦢 Practice nature and landscape photography 🤳 along the banks of Edsviken, where the palace silhouetted against the water is a local icon 🌅

How to Get There

  • 🚆 Take the Commuter Train to Ulriksdal Station 🚉 then walk for about 15 minutes or take Bus 503 🚌 directly to the park gates 🏁

Travel Tips

  • 🥾 Comfortable shoes are highly recommended 👟 as the park covers a vast area with both gravel and forest terrain 👣
  • 🧺 Bring your own picnic items and a blanket 🍎 if you plan to stay a while, as formal dining is concentrated near the main palace 🥪
