Travel guide Åland
Holiday in Åland
Åland lies in the middle of the Baltic Sea. A total of 20,000 islands and skerries are waiting to be discovered by nature lovers. They are connected to one another by bridges and Ferries. Here in Åland, life is shaped by the archipelago. Whether on foot, by bike, or by kayak, every sport offers the chance to be active against a unique—and often completely deserted—natural backdrop. By the way: Swedish is spoken in Åland!
TOP excursion destinations in Åland
The capital of Åland is the pretty harbour town of Mariehamn. Beautiful to look at are the small wooden houses, villas, restaurants and cafés. A leisurely stroll leads to the two harbors with large cruise ships and the Maritime Museum, where the four-master “Pommern” is waiting to be visited.
The island of Kobba Klintar is a very popular photo spot. That’s because the small lighthouse keeper’s house on the island is uniquely beautiful. You can take the Ferry from Mariehamn to the island; in the summer, the deafening sound of the foghorn “echoes” at 1:00 p.m. The former pilot house, built in 1862, now houses a café. It’s the perfect place to let your gaze wander into the distance while enjoying a cup of coffee…
Bomarsund is the largest fortress in Åland. It’s hard to believe that it was built following a war between Russia and Sweden. Although the year 1809 brought peace, it forced Sweden to cede Åland. At times, more than 2,000 members of the Russian military lived here. Finland’s independence in 1917 brought an end to the Russian presence on the islands. Today, only ruins remain as a testament to this chapter of history.
For centuries, one of the most important shipping routes from east to west ran across Åland. Reason enough to build a castle here. With Kastelholm Castle, the Swedish kings once created a residence worthy of their status with a curtain wall, residential building and tower. From May to September you can visit the castle, the Vita Björn prison museum and the Jan Karlsgården open-air museum.
