Walking in Hagaparken by Brunnsviken

Hagaparken lies on the bay Brunnsviken, and the Haga–Brunnsviken area is part of the Royal National City Park. In the 18th century more landscape parks were laid out around the bay: Bellevue to the south, Tivoli to the north and Frescati to the east.

How long a walk takes depends on how much of the park you want to see. A walk in Hagaparken and a loop around the whole of Brunnsviken are different routes, and the sources we have used give no length for any set loop – so we give no distance.

According to the Royal National City Park, the park is accessible with a pushchair, and there is a toilet, parking and public transport nearby.
