索菲罗城堡

这个花园城堡被命名为欧洲2010年最美的花园。花园里面有一系列的小花园，各种植物，木的小道。里面的城堡也非常壮观。总之，非常美！

I walked from downtown Helsingborg, along the sidewalks and it took me about 1 hour to get here (5km distance). It was an easy walk and very easy to find.The grounds are open in the off-season, and are free admission, but other than the evergreen rhododendron species, everything was dormant for the winter(I knew this going in of course). The grounds are beautiful and were deserted which made for some nice pictures. The exterior of the house is quite beautiful especially the ornate chimneys. With streams, ponds, sculpture gardens, and the vast flowering gardens, it would make for a very lovely time in the spring and summer. Temper your expectations for a winter visit though. Being free admission in the off season certainly helps budget travelers.Upon walking back I took the path system that runs above on the bluff, with really nice views all the way back into Helsingborg. Not as accessible as the sidwalks for stroller and wheelchairs, but it made for a nice change. Look outside the entrance for the map of the trail and where it starts.

It's such a putty when I arrived then I just knew it closedSefiro is open during spring & summerFrom 30th October till 2nd of November, it's lighten occlusion which it start from 5PM till 9PMMake sure u check open date & time before visit

Cute castle surrounded by a beautiful park made for strolling on your own, twosome, with the family or friends. Bring a pic nic on a sunny spring or summer day; have a feeka (fika) or maybe lunch in the castle restaurant and enjoy its peaceful atmosphere. There are many activities going on around the year and according to season like traditional Midsummer celebration in June when you can join in the dancing around the midsummer pole.

Wonderful garden filled with many beautiful flower arrangements, small paths to explore but that's basically it, we weren't allowed to enter the castle it self, so to pay just to wonder in someone's garden was a bit disappointing.

Castle surrounded by a HUUUUGE royal garden! Have only been there during the summers and it's beautiful to watch the nature. Also the castle is nice with historical photos and costumes to be seen!

Really worth visiting if you are in the area. The gardens are lovelly, especially in the spring with all the tulips and the rhododendrons. But it is smashing in the fall too. In the winter you will not meet a lot of visitors but still a beautiful place to visit.

This is the summer resident of the former Swedish King. The Castle is now used as a restaurant and art gallery. The Castle is surrounded by a very large and very beautiful garden where you can stroll around for hours and enjoy all the different kinds of flowers.

We rode up in bikes from town (stopping at the harbor, beaches, parks. There was a nice natural grass miniature golf course next to the bath house.)The grounds were very nicely maintained. Each themed garden took us to a different place. My wife liked this better than Butchart Gardens in Victoria.We walked the entire park, had picnic lunch, and spent the whole day there.

Gardens are really lovely and we enjoyed the exhibition on Swedish Royalty. Thank you to the lady for explaining it all to us.

My wife and I took a cruise for our honeymoon and our final port of call brought us to Helsingborg, Sweden! The final stop on our shore excursion brought us to Sofiero and we loved it! The ticket desk provided an English map when we entered which made it very easy to navigate the vast property. The gardens were beautiful and there was lots to see! Give yourself at least a couple hours here if possible, especially if you are the type to stop and admire the beauty. Seek out the trees where all of the hammocks are hanging, it is very relaxing! The "castle" is slightly underwhelming, as is the gift shop; didn't have the best variety of souvenir options. Overall a very enjoyable experience!

Friends had their wedding reception there and the place is absolutely gorgeous. Amazing views, stunning gardens, the food and wine was great.

This is not a site that you can rush in and out of. Take a moment to explore the grounds, there are gorgeous spots all around. Stay for lunch because the food is great.

We visited Sofiero while on a road trip from Göteborg to Malmö (its about 3/4 of the way). Admission is 100 SEK, parking is free. Signs on the E20 make it easy to find. I was kind of expecting something much more grand than this place really is. From the entry gate it is an impressive home and the gardens are indeed extensive and well cared for. We enjoyed the walk down to the waterfront. Tours are only offered for groups by prearrangement, so you can visit the interior (upper floor) on your own. This is where the disappointment begins... there just isn't a lot to see. A few small rooms are set up in period furnishings and decor, but most of the rooms are devoted to exhibition space. The only part of the main floor you can visit is the restaurant. All of that said, we were glad we went because the exhibition currently on display "Royalty through the eyes of the media" (running until Sept 14, 2014) was fantastic. I had no idea this was on display prior to arrival and I wasn't sure it would be very interesting until starting to view it. The exhibition explores the fascination of the media and public with the Swedish Royal Family. It was well done and quite enjoyable!While walking the grounds I noticed that the castle has an extensive program for kids, with a large activity area that was absolutely buzzing with excited children. The gift shop had an interesting assortment of items, many focused on the royal connection.Overall, I would say if you are interested in gardens or the royal family connection, do go to Sofiero. If you are on a tour of Sweden's castles and aiming for completeness, then also go. But if you want "wow" or have no interest in the royal family, this place may not be for you.

Visiting Sofiero Castle and Gardens is a must on a beautiful sunny day. The castle may not resemble the grand royal palaces, but it shows a piece of the Swedish royal family’s private lives. The castle is worth a visit, but the gardens are just amazing and I guess when the gardens are blooming, the place is adorable. Also don’t miss to go all the way down to the beach where you can see Hamlet’s Palace, Danish Helsingör Castle.
