Discover Oskarshamn

Welcome to Oskarshamn – a coastal town in eastern Småland where the sea, the city and the archipelago meet. Here, you’ll find a delightful mix of small-town charm, culture and nature experiences along the Baltic Sea coast.


City charm and coastal life


In Oskarshamn, the calm of small-town life blends with the energy of the sea. Stroll through the town centre with its shops, cafés and restaurants, or explore the old districts of Besväret and Fnyket, where charming 19th-century wooden houses and cobbled lanes overlook the harbour. Don’t miss Stadsparken – a green oasis with views of the bay, playgrounds, tennis courts and the famous Långa Soffan, a 72-metre-long park bench that has become one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.


Attractions in Oskarshamn


The harbour is the gateway to one of Sweden’s most island-rich municipalities, with more than 5,400 islands. Take a boat trip through the Misterhult archipelago, visit Blå Jungfrun National Park, or paddle a kayak between skerries and bays. Culture lovers will enjoy the Döderhultarn Museum, showcasing Axel Petersson’s wooden sculptures, and the Maritime Museum, telling the story of the city’s shipbuilding past.


Outdoor life, dining and meetings by the coast


The areas around Björnhult and Bredviken offer scenic trails for nature experiences. For the active traveller, there are hiking routes, cycling paths and fishing waters along the Emån River and the coast. In Oskarshamn, you can relax, enjoy great food and experience genuine Småland hospitality. The coastal setting also makes it an attractive destination for meetings and conferences close to the sea.
