Visitor guidelines
Ball-playing and other games are allowed, but not the mounting of nets, goalposts etc. It is also important not to damage the plants or trees – or be a nuisance to other guests.
Please smell the flowers - but leave them where they are. We would like all our gustes to be able to enjoy all the flowers, including wildflowers in the meadows.
Ordinary photography is not a problem, but if you plan to film or set up larger-scale recordings, please apply for special permission.
Feel free to walk, sit or lie on the grass.
Areas that are newly sown or cannot be walked on for another reason will be clearly marked.
You are welcome to walk your dog in the Palace Park, but we ask that you show consideration. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times, year round, and kept away from the flower beds. Please remember to use dog waste bags.
Commercial activities, such as sales, collections, recruitment campaigns, training sessions, the distribution of promotional material and similar activities, are not permitted.
Advertising commercial activities is also prohibited, including for training groups, concerts, cultural events and similar activities.
Please enjoy a picnic in the park, but grilling in the Palace Park is not permitted. Bring a picnic basket and enjoy your food and drink - but please leave your grill at home.
With many people enjoying picnics in the park, rubbish accumulates quickly. Please take your rubbish with you or place it in one of the many bins along the paths when you leave.
Cycling is permitted on the paths in the Palace Park, but there is a speed limit of 5 km per hour, or roughly walking pace.
If you are in a hurry, we ask you to please cycle outside the park. There are bicycle lanes along the length the park.
Jogging in the Palace Park is perfectly fine, but only on the paths.
If you use the park for exercise, please do not use the benches for jump training and similar activities. There are several steps in the park that can easily withstand being jumped on.
The Palace Park has more than a thousand trees – some of which have been with us for 250 years. You can help us take care of them by not climbing or hanging from the branches, and by not allowing children to do so either.
It is not permitted to attach straps, slings or similar training equipment to the trees, and hammocks or slacklines are also not allowed. Unfortunately, most such setups can cause damage.
