Awsome and really nice place to visit outside Stockholm on a spring day as well as summer day Well worth the 150sek admisson fee to enter. And to not only the out door statues, you have inside the art gallery as well. If you are hungry of just want some cofee or tea there is a smaller restaurant with easier food.

We came by this place by accident walking in the park. Beautiful place, great lunch and great sandwiches. The bakery sells delicious baking goods and the store is a fantasy for people who loves gardening. We had wonderful weather and that gave us the possibility to roam the place. If you like gardening, definitely a place to stop by

Sofiero is a great place to visit for the formal gardens, especially in the spring for the rhododendrons and in the autumn for the ljusstämning (where the grounds are open at night with all the paths lit by candles.)

A beautiful place for a relaxing walk or a picnic. Interesting reconstuctions of historic farmhouse and old village environments and a lovely collection of roses if you come at the right time of the year. In the summer they also have an outdoor theatre that plays a new comedy every year. Traditional Midsummer Celebration with music and dance around the Maypole.
