Gränna, founded by Count Per Brahe the Younger in 1652, boasts the Grenna Museum, where you can delve into the fascinating history of S.A.

Explore the island on foot, embark on a special horse-drawn carriage (known as a remmalag), or enjoy a leisurely bicycle ride, all while taking in the picturesque surroundings.
