The guide Elisabet takes you on a tour of the lush Enköping, lunch is eaten at a French restaurant, there is time to discover the charm of the small town on your own with shopping or even more garden. Guided tour and coffee at Doktor Westerlund.
Start at the Kaplan. Elisabet tells the story of how an innovative urban gardener came to town, started and drove through the transformation that today has become Enköping's major tourist attraction. The walk goes through one of the smaller pocket parks and to one of the larger parks. The tour ends in the Drömpark, created by Piet Oudolf, who is known for his spectacular compositions of tall and colorful perennials. His most famous works besides the Dream Park in Enköping are, The Millennium Park in Chicago, The Battery Park and The High Line Park in New York.
In the middle of Enköping there is a piece of France in the form of the restaurant Bistrot Bombance. Britt-Marie and Johan have previously run a restaurant in France, where they serve food prepared from scratch. You can see for yourself how the chef works in the kitchen. Here you choose from the menu of the day and sit either inside the restaurant in a lovely cozy environment or in beautiful weather outside on the street terrace. For an additional fee, you can order a glass of French wine to accompany your meal. Bon apetit!
After lunch, you'll have some free time! You can choose to stroll around the beautiful green surroundings or head back into town for a little shopping spree. There's plenty of time to visit some of the unique little shops in town. By all means, don't miss Fröken Röd, Karin Sömmare, Pepparrotsstadens Trädgård & Hantverk or Fabian Flinks Brödbod.
If you choose to discover more of the parks, we recommend a trip out on Åpromenaden, along Enköpingsån. There you can experience as much park and garden as you like! Along the promenade there are 18 idea gardens. There is also a lot of public art along the River Walk.
15.00 The guide Lena welcomes you at Westerlundska gården. Dr. Westerlund lived and worked in the house from 1876 until his death in 1924. The Enköping doctor was well known throughout the country and also in many other parts of the world. He had patients from Norway and Finland as well as Russia, Germany and many other countries. It was rumored that the doctor cured what others could not, largely because he was a particularly good diagnostician and judge of character.
