Nobelparken

Nobelparken is an urban park stretching along Strandvägen and the Djurgårdsbrunnsviken waterfront, combining a promenade with natural green spaces. Walking paths link areas with Nordic tree species, seating zones, and a nature play area featuring animal sculptures.

The land once held the royal Vädla estate before becoming crown property in 1523 when Gustav Vasa took power. It was renamed in 1912 to honor Alfred Nobel and developed as a living collection of Nordic trees.

The park functions as an open classroom where visitors discover Nordic tree species through wayfinding signs placed throughout the grounds. People naturally spend time here to connect with nature and learn about Sweden's forests.

The park is easy to explore with clear pathways and free entry, making it ideal for a casual stroll or family outing. The best time to visit is late spring through autumn when vegetation is fully developed and weather is pleasant.

A horse chestnut tree planted in 2012 stands as a memorial to Raoul Wallenberg, adding meaning beyond its botanical role. This memorial tree honors a courageous humanitarian figure.
