Solna between nature, film history and culture
About half of Solna consists of parks, nature or water.
Nature
Ulriksdal Nature Reserve lies between the bays of Edsviken and Brunnsviken on the wooded Stockholm esker. The reserve contains one of the largest burial grounds from the Late Iron Age in the Stockholm area. The Igelbäcken stream flows through the area and is home to the rare gudgeon. Ulriksdal Nature Reserve also has spruce forest that is 100 years old and pines up to 200 years old on the rocky areas.
Råstasjön Nature Reserve lies next to Gamla Råsunda and Arenastaden. It is home to a diverse birdlife, including one of the largest black-headed gull colonies in Stockholm County, as well as a rich bat fauna comprising seven species.
The Solna section of the Royal National City Park includes Haga, Brunnsviken, Ulriksdal and Bergshamra with the Tivoli Peninsula. The Royal National City Park is open to everyone around the clock all year round.
Culture and history
Hagaparken is part of the Royal National City Park. Hagaparken is also home to the Haga Park Museum. Ulriksdal Palace is likewise located in the Royal National City Park and was built in the 17th century. Guided tours are offered on the grounds of Ulriksdal Palace.
The Orangerie Museum is housed in an orangery built in the 17th century in the Ulriksdal Palace Park. The Orangerie Museum displays works by the Swedish sculptors Carl Milles and Johan Tobias Sergel.
Confidencen is considered Sweden’s oldest Rococo theatre and dates from 1753. Performances and guided tours are offered there.
Gamla Hagalund preserves several buildings concentrated around the Odin quarter on Hagalundsgatan. Solna Church is one of Stockholm’s few round churches and was probably built in the 1180s. Överjärva Farm is an urban ecology centre in a cultural-historical setting that has been inhabited since the 5th century.
Film and events
More than 400 films were shot in Filmstaden between 1920 and 1971 by Svensk Filmindustri and other film companies. Filmstaden can be reached via the blue metro line towards Akalla, getting off at Näckrosen station.
Strawberry Arena (Friends Arena) is a large concert, sports and events stadium in Solna. It serves as Sweden’s national football stadium and as AIK’s home stadium.
Getting around
Solna’s walking guides contain images, read-aloud texts and integrated GPS assistance for orientation.
For an overnight stay in Solna, travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions can help define the framework when choosing a hotel. This makes it possible to match the preferred type of accommodation with your travel period and personal booking conditions.
The different themes in Solna can therefore be considered separately: nature reserves, historic sites, film history and events each form distinct focal points.
