Karlskrona archipelago is Sweden's southernmost archipelago and northern Europe's closest archipelago. Here you as a visitor can live the archipelago life to the fullest. Try island-hopping with the Archipelago traffic, paddle and stay on an island or book a guided tour to explore, for example, explore Kungsholms Fort.
Did you know that "Little Hawaii" is outside Karlskrona? The island is actually called Hasslö but feels like Hawaii, though with a Swedish touch of course. Also, take the opportunity to explore Blekinge's largest island of Sturkö, which has plenty of excursion destinations. Sweden's southeastern island group Utklippan offers accommodation, restaurant and bar. Here you can try on seal safaris and swim with seals if you like.
If you like cycling, Aspö is excellent for holidays. Here you can live high up in a lot tower - Aspö lots tower, visit Drottningskär's castle and a Museum for Moving Coast Artillery. Maybe you will find the place that will forever be your perfect spot. Welcome to discover Karlskrona archipelago!
Island-jump
The archipelago boats can be found in several places in the Karlskrona archipelago. The same island can be touched several times during the same day by several different ships. It allows you to combine the boat trips as you like and discover the entire Blekinge archipelago. Via Blekingetrafiken's archipelago traffic you will find a good overview map and complete information on all boat trips.
Tip! Take a converted steamboat M / F Axel to Nättraby. The journey takes place under glittering foliage up the idyllic Nättrabyån. The boat trip takes about 4.5 hours. Go to the page here - Archipelago traffic
Archipelago traffic
Travelling in the archipelago is easy. Choose your jetty stop and buy your ticket as you hop aboard the boat. If you go from Fiskorget, you buy your ticket at the information kiosk before boarding. You can pay by swish, cash or bank card. Blinking traffic's summer card applies in archipelago traffic. It is a cheaper travel card so check it out if it can be an idea.

The coast road
- between Torhamn and Kristianopel
Enjoy the trip along the coastal road and stop to search for seals by Abraham's beds or try the inshore fishing. Don't miss the farm shops, cafes and dairies, crafts and small shops along the way. In Sandhamn you will find a popular motorhome, guest harbour, marina, fishing camp and restaurant. There are also lovely bike paths in the area you can go out on.
Marinas
There are many places to add with the boat in the Karlskrona archipelago, and for those seeking comfort, guest ports with blue flags are recommended. "Blue Flag" means a guest harbour that is well managed, environmentally aware, has a high level of service, is informative and offers a high level of security.
