We reached there using ferry from Helsingor to Helsingborg, and our ferry ticket included the ride to and fro till soffiero garden via bus. There is a nominal entrance fee, and there is a café running inside, serving nice coffee and sandwiches. After... More

If you are looking for a full day out for all ages this is the place. We visited with my daughter and her children. My grandson loved the two mazes and we had to drag him away from the childrens' area - there was so muc for him to do: playground, play house, shop, garden, dressing up. The gardens are... More

Sofiero slott and garden are exceptionally charming and the whole scenario absolutely worth a visit. The competence and friendliness of the guide Daniela added considerable value and made the whole experience even more interesting (thank you!). The strong point of the visit is the garden, also offering extraordinary views of the öresund. Highly recommended (notice the entrance is about 80-85... More

Lovely place for lunch and viewing the gardens in summer. The self paced tour of the castle shares it's history via photos and writings of the royal family.

These are spectacular! If you can visit end May to June, the Rhododendrons are amazing! out of this world. I had read previous reviews that said the food was poor and expensive, but it was actually good value for money in Swedish terms and brilliant quality! An open sandwich was 7 GBP ish, and much better quality than what you... More

The Rhododendrons in different colours are in full bloom at this time of the year. (Early June). A fantastic place for a nice long walk. The castle also has a cafe where you can hop in for a quick coffee and seat yourself at a table overlooking the Sea.

I have just visited Sofiero, Helsingborg a castle with a lovely garden. I’m not so big fan of gardens, but this is something special, when I could visit it during the Rhododendron flowering season. The park was named Europe's most beautiful 2010. The castle is also well worth visiting.

I've visited Sofiero before, but this was my first visit during the peak of the Rhododendron flowering season (roughly late May and June), and it was really spectacular. Other parts of the garden are also very nice, and well worth visiting at any time. Althought there were many guests it didn't seem crowded, except in the Cafe, which was busy... More

If you come to Helsingborg in spring or fore-summer you must visit Sofiero. An astonishing garden, once created by the former swedish king Gustav VI Adolf. It's nice to visit any time of the year, but especially now.
