Karlskrona lies in the heart of the Blekinge Archipelago – Sweden’s southernmost archipelago. Here, the historic naval city meets coastal charm, shopping and museums, creating a destination full of culture, experiences and seaside atmosphere.

History and seaside experiences

Visit Karlskrona – a vibrant coastal city rich in history and attractions. Stroll through Björkholmen, the city’s oldest district with its picturesque wooden houses, or take a seat at Stortorget, the grand square framed by magnificent historic buildings.

Museums, culture and sights

One of Karlskrona’s most popular attractions is the Naval Museum, where more than 300 years of maritime history come to life with full-sized ships and the chance to step aboard the submarine HMS Neptun. Don’t miss the Blekinge Museum, which tells the story of the region’s past through archaeology, art and everyday life in Blekinge over the centuries. For those interested in the city’s fortifications, Drottningskär Citadel and Kungsholms Fort are popular excursion destinations.

Archipelago adventures and relaxation

Karlskrona is the gateway to the Blekinge Archipelago, with more than 30 islands, beaches, hiking trails and nature reserves. Take the ferry to the car-free islands of Aspö or Sturkö, or visit Hasslö – known as “Little Hawaii”. Among the islands you’ll find small harbours, fishing villages, cosy cafés and local eateries where you can savour the flavours of the archipelago.

Conferences

Karlskrona’s location by the E22 motorway and proximity to Ronneby Airport make it an ideal meeting place. Here you’ll find modern conference and meeting venues – perfect for both small gatherings and larger events.
