Helsingborg The Garden City
|
|||
Helsingborg is seen by many as the garden capital. There are well-designed flower arrangements all over the city, the royal gardens of Sofi ero are considered to have Europe´s best rhododendron collection and Fredriksdal museums and gardens boast a unique provincial botanical garden that is the only one of its kind in Northern Europe. Sofiero Castle and Castle Park If you visit Sofi ero Castle Park in May or June you will be met by a magnifi cent sight of more than 10,000 rhododendron bushes in full bloom - enough to amaze anyone. King Gustav VI Adolf, who planted the first bush in 1907, would doubtless have been pleased with the collection that is now one of the biggest and most beautiful in Europe. The castle, with views of the Sound, is situated above the rhododendron ravine and is surrounded by velvety lawns, luscious green trees and colourful borders. It´s simply fantastic! Sofi ero stages many events and exhibitions at the castle and in the gardens all the year round. In August, it´s time for the annual Garden Festival – a feast for all the senses! |

 Fredriksdal museums and gardens Welcome to one of Sweden´s finest open-air museums. The different landscape types and grounds, historic buildings and gardens make Fredriksdal a miniature Skåne. As well as the beautiful manor house from 1787, there are old city quarters, a working Skåne farm, a unique botanical garden with all the species that grow wild in Skåne, as well as a lovely rose garden. It also has the biggest graphics museum in Scandinavia and the Fredriksdal Open-Air Theatre. The nice café is also worth a visit. Ramlösa Brunn Park Feel the history as you walk through the park. The alkaline spring with its famous Ramlösa mineral water is down in the park ravine. In the 18th and 19th centuries, it was popular to drink the waters. Above the ravine are the beautiful wooden buildings where the Spa guests once stayed. Möllebackens Våffelbruk Möllebackens Våffelbruk is a real gem. It is located up on the hill where you can enjoy beautiful views and freshly made waffles. To reach the restaurant, enter the inner courtyard at Södra Storgatan 31 or go through the school playground at Bergaliden 15. |
