The archipelago town
Karlskrona is the capital of the county Blekinge and is situated on 33 islands, with a maritime history, and many forms of naval activity. The fascinating atmosphere has also impressed UNESCO and added the city to the World Heritage list.
Visit the annual festival in August, a festivity that will hold the interest of an entire family, with old and new maritime culture, food and drink from the region, activities for children, sailing boats and other vessels lined along the harbor. Discover Sweden’s southernmost archipelago, also appointed by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve area, with a string of 1650 islands and skerries, just waiting to be discovered by boat, ferry or car. Take a trip around the archipelago by tour boats and experience exciting places together. See Drottningskär’s Citadel and Kungsholm’s Fortress, the two fortifications that have guarded the entrance to Karlskrona for over 340 years. Visit Karlskrona’s Great Square, one of northern Europe’s largest, and marvel at the World Heritage buildings – The Fredrik Church and The Church of the Holy Trinity. Discover more of the cultural and maritime treasures at the Swedish Naval Museum – Karlskrona’s most visited sight.
