Haga Park, or simply Haga, lies just north of Stockholm in Solna and is part of the Royal National City Park. Gustav III founded it between 1780 and 1797. Visit Stockholm calls it Sweden’s foremost example of an English landscape park and one of the country’s most popular recreational areas.

The park’s landmarks include the Chinese Temple, the Turkish Kiosk and the Royal Burial Ground. Haga Palace also stands within the park and is the residence of Crown Princess Victoria and her family. The named sites give visitors historical landmarks to seek out within the recreation area. Visitors can focus on the temple and kiosk, the burial ground or the palace, each located in Haga.

For a first visit, the park’s history begins with Gustav III’s founding from 1780 to 1797, and continues through the landmarks associated with Haga today. The English landscape park is a way to explore an outdoor place just outside Stockholm, while the palace links the park to Sweden’s royal family through its current residence.
