Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful, but not what I expected for paying 120 sek in entrance fee. Lovely gardens with a beautiful castle, places to eat, have a picnic, exhibitions, etc.

As I said previously, the gardens are lovely and I can only imagine what the rhododendron is like in full bloom throughout the estate. There is also a maze, a mystic tree garden like something out of the Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter. It's gorgeous. But taking the entrance fee into account, there are other free gardens and parks in Helsingborg, although maybe not quite as pretty, that I'd rather visit. I expected something more from Sofiero Palace, as it had the facade of a theme park.

Furthermore, the exhibitions. They had ads placed in Helsingborg while on the way to Sofiero Palace and we thought it to be a big deal. They are "free" as they are included in the entry fee, but you need to book a time due to the current situation and that is fine. I was a bit bummed out to know that the time in the exhibition was limited to just 25 minutes. It starts with the history of the palace and the swedish royal family, with photos, and rooms that are designed with certain eras in mind. Then came the temporary exhibition, in my opinion it was quite small an underwhelming, but it might just be that I wasn't as interested in the theme of the exhibition, eternal fashion. I realized that 25 minutes was quite enough for the rather small exhibition.

I summary, over-hyped and in my opinion expensive. It's ok if you're willing to drop some bucks for going to a park. Would reconsider visiting when the rhododendron blooms.
