Karlskrona archipelago is liberating and probably one of the most beautiful places there is. The archipelago of Karlskrona is the southernmost of Sweden’s archipelagos. The whole city is built upon 33 islands. Without the protective ring of large and small islands surrounding the city, King Karl XI, would probably not have chosen Trossö for his new naval base. There are islands, that have from one to 1,500 inhabitants, islands with and without connection to the mainland. Look for your very own favourite spot — and enjoy — because there are plenty of them! Far out in the eastern archipelago, there are plenty of exciting islands like Inlängan, Utlängan, Stenshamn, Ungskär, and Hästholmen, which offer a charming setting. The character of the islands here differs a lot from the green inner archipelago. Far out to the southeast, lies the island Utklippan. Enjoy the unique environment and look for the seal colony, the seals really enjoy their life here.

Did you know that the most Swedish of all Swedish motifs, and perhaps the most widely distributed, is found in Karlskrona — on tiny Brändaholm? 43 red cottages with white corners, waving flags, and a bright blue sea. And the motif continues to be spread across the globe as a representation of genuine Swedishness. Come and take a look at the real thing!
