Royal National City Park, National city park in Stockholm, Sweden.
Description
The Royal National City Park is a protected area spanning across three municipalities with forests, lakes, and green spaces interwoven throughout. It offers diverse landscapes and habitats to explore during a visit.
History
The area was once hunting grounds for the Swedish royal family and was protected by a parliamentary decision in 1995. This transformation created a new form of urban nature conservation in Sweden.
Culture
The park contains several royal residences like Ulriksdal Palace and various museums displaying Swedish heritage. Visitors can explore these buildings and learn about the royal history that shaped the region.
Practical
The park is accessible through multiple entry points and well-connected by public transportation including metro stations, buses, and seasonal boat services. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since many paths wind through forests and along lakeshores.
