Donde los cisnes son guardaespaldas y los árboles esconden dramas de película sueca
The park, known locally as Nolhaga Park, is a public space open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. It is a short walk from Alingsås city center and the Alingsås train station, making it very easy to visit on foot.
Entry to the park and its popular children's zoo is **completely free**, making it a must-visit. No advance tickets are required to access the gardens or the main recreational areas.
To enjoy a relaxed walk, see the castle from the outside, and visit the zoo, we recommend allowing 2 to 3 hours. If you plan to walk to Lake Mjörn or have a picnic, set aside the whole afternoon.
The park is home to Nolhaga Castle, a late 19th-century building in the Italian Neo-Renaissance style that symbolizes the city's bourgeois history. It is the historic green lung where nature and classical architecture meet.
Summer is perfect for enjoying the gardens in bloom, but October is special because of the famous festival Lights in Alingsås. During this event, the city and parts of the park are illuminated with stunning artistic installations.
Yes, most of the park has wide, paved paths that are suitable for wheelchairs and baby strollers. The terrain is quite flat, making it easy to move around the main areas.
Right next to it is beautiful Lake Mjörn, ideal for panoramic views, and just a few minutes' walk away you are in the center of the Capital of Fika. There you can enjoy the Swedish tradition of coffee and pastries in its historic wooden cafés.
Wear comfortable shoes to explore the beech forest trails, and if you are visiting with children, do not miss the Plikta playground near the zoo. For a deeper experience, consider using an audio guide from IAudioguia to uncover the hidden secrets of the surroundings.
