Haga Park is one of Europe’s finest English-landscape parks. Leave your bike and stroll around, listening to the audio guides you will find in the park. Here more than anywhere else you can experience the mood of Gustav III’s era. In he purchased the southern part of the park containing the Haga Manor – Old Haga, which lay on the slopes of Vasaslätten. Picturesque pavilions were to be found on the islets that then existed out in the water and there were tree-lined avenues along which to stroll. In the King bought the neighbouring manor of Brahelund and his lands more than doubled to the north. The Great Lawn was constructed and channels and artificial islands were built off the shore. The dwelling house of the Brahelund property was incorporated into Gustav III’s Pavilion. In the late s most of the other well-known buildings in the park were built: the Turkish Pavilion, the Chinese Pagoda, the Copper Tents, and the Temple of the Echo. Work on the park ceased after the assassination of the King in and was never completed. Gustav III´s Pavilion is open for visitors during the summer months.

The lovely Haga Park (Hagaparken) is situated north of Norrtull, a public square and transportation hub in Stockholm. The park is part of the municipality of Solna. Despite this, it remains centrally positioned in Stockholm: To the west of Haga Park is the Karolinska Sjukhuset hospital, and to the east is Stockholm University, along the shores of Brunnsviken bay.
To reach the park from Stockholm city centre, you can take a bus. Alternatively, if you enjoy long walks, you can head north along Sveavägen from Sergels Torg to reach the southern entrance of the park.
Haga Park has a history dating back to the 17th century when it served as hunting grounds for King Karl XII and the Swedish royal family.
In the 18th century, King Gustav III transformed it into a picturesque landscape garden inspired by English styles, featuring winding paths, waterfalls, bridges, and mature trees, creating a harmonious blend of nature and architecture.
