Tessinparken is a park in Gärdet in Stockholm. The park is T-shaped and starts in the south at Valhallavägen and extends to Askrikegatan in the north. It is located within the Royal National City Park.
Tessinparken got its name in 1931 and was laid out in 1932–1940 in connection with the construction of housing around it. The park is named after "one of the most famous names in our cultural history, the Tessinska" (according to the Name Committee): the architects Nicodemus Tessin d.ä., his son Nicodemus Tessin d.y. and grandson Carl Gustaf Tessin.
The park, like Gärdet's town plan, was designed by the architect Arvid Stille. It forms a symmetrical continuation of Karlaplan towards the north. The southern part of the park is designed in a contemporary baroque style with plantings and straight gravel paths and a fountain. The northern part is in a more modern style with Egon Möller-Nielsen's play sculpture Egg and a splash pad. There is also a playground in the park.
Tree-lined streets run on either side of the park: Hedinsgatan in the west and De Geersgatan...
Read moreExcellent, the food is excellent. The time in line is not very long. And the people that take your order are very friendly. And even if you don't speak swedish to them or you don't know that Taiwanese language. There's still able to communicate with you to make sure that your order is fulfilled and you're happy with it. I wish there hours were longer but they have to have a life too I guess. I have no complaints they give you enough food it's hot and it's delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.
