A city built on 33 islands

The archipelago feeling is constantly present wherever you are in Karlskrona, due to the unique location. The city center is located on its own island, 6 km from the mainland. From the highest point of the city center, The Great Square, Stortorget, where you will find the shopping streets, it only takes a few minutes walk to the jetty. There are archipelago boats, kayak rentals and lovely summer hangouts just outside the hotel door.


Karlskrona's history has given the city unique and magnificent environments with a sense of grandeur and exclusivity. Here on this page you will find tips on experiences in our proud world heritage city and a description of the city's different parts. We call them islands.

Karlskrona - Your World Heritage site

Beautiful churches, magnificent squares, parade streets and fortifications attract visitors from all over the world!

Drop anchor in Karlskrona, the city that was founded in 1680, when King Karl XI decided to build his new naval base here. The key to the nomination is the actual planning of the city, which was built under the king's will and vision. More than 340 years later, the naval base is still on Lindholmen, in the very heart of the world heritage - in the city where old meets new and tradition meets innovation.
