Kungstradgarden in Stockholm was initially a kitchen garden. In 1562, it was transformed to a place of tourist attraction. Jean Allard designed the new garden. The Kungstradgarden has been renovated for a number of times. It was changed to a drill ground in 19th century by removing most of the trees from the park. Only the beautiful alleys were retained.
During the birthday celebration of the city, the Kungstradgarden was chosen as a venue. Certain modifications were brought in to renovate it. Fountains, cafes and food stalls were put up at the park.
