"Sofiero is an impressive former royal summer residence and park with wonderful rhododendrons (best seen in full bloom in May and June) and occasional big-name summer gigs, the likes of Bob Dylan." Full review

"Rhododendrons and azaleas embellish the gardens (map at the entrance). The rhododendron-lined path starts in the little valley situated at the foot of the castle and finishes near the water." Full review
