Humlegården, Public park in Östermalm district, Stockholm, Sweden

Humlegården is a public park in the Östermalm district featuring tree-lined pathways, grassy meadows, and planted gardens arranged throughout the grounds. The space includes a playground, skateboard area, and soccer field alongside outdoor dining spots during warmer months.

Humlegården began as a royal fruit garden established by King Johan III in the 16th century, where hops, fruit and spices were grown. Queen Ulrika Eleonora had the Rotundan pavilion built there in 1686–87. The park opened for public recreation in 1764, with restrictions on who was admitted, and became fully open to all in 1869.

The park's name comes from the hops once grown here, and it appears in the song "Hum, hum från Humlegårn". Since 1878 the Royal Library has stood on the eastern side. In 2022 a wind sculpture, Standing Waves by Adèle Essle Zeiss and Liva Isakson Lundin, was unveiled in memory of the DJ and producer Avicii.

The park lies between Karlavägen, Sturegatan, Humlegårdsgatan and Engelbrektsgatan, with the Royal Library on its eastern side. Paths run through the grounds and connect the lawns, playground, skateboard ramp and small soccer ground. Locals report feeling unsafe in the park in the evening, so visits after dark are best made in company.

A bronze statue of botanist Carl Linnaeus stands at the center, sculpted by Johannes Frithiof Kjellberg in 1885. This monument draws visitors interested in natural history and Swedish scientific achievement.
