Sledding in Stockholm

Koppartälten (copper-tents) at Haga, elaborate light blue ”tents” build 1787. The front is painted copper plates, hence the name of these pretty buildings.

Part of the Royal National City Park, the lush Haga Park (or just Haga) is situated just north of Stockholm in the suburb of Solna. Founded by the monarch Gustav III in 1780-1797, Haga is Sweden&#x27;s foremost example of an English landscape park, and one of Sweden&#x27;s most popular recreational areas. It&#x27;s also the site of many historical landmarks. The Chinese Temple, The Turkish Kiosk, and The Royal Burial Ground are all found in the park. Within the park is also Haga Palace, the residence of Crown Princess Victoria and her family.

During the winter ice skating and cross-country skiing dominate, with a hole cut in the ice for the bravest swimmers. (There is also a sauna on-site.)

Parks in Stockholm. A young woman seated at a park bench, admiring the view from Observatorielunden in central Stockholm. It’s a beautiful day and a large part of the northern inner city is visible in the picture.

The noise of the city seems infinitely far away in the grove on the hill. Observatorielunden is a green oasis only a stone’s throw from the throbbing pulse of Drottninggatan. Exactly as the name implies, there’s an observatory in the park that goes back to the 1700s. One wing, from the end of the nineteenth century, contains Kafé Himlavalvet, known for its delicious waffles and toppings from a special waffle menu. The café and its outdoor seating area are open all year except for January.
