Cross six interconnected islands — Trossö, Stakholmen, Ekholmen, Saltö, Brändaholm and a hidden gem — on this expert-led small-group walking tour. The finest way to unlock Karlskrona's remarkable UNESCO World Heritage naval townscape.
What to expect
Your guide leads you island-hopping across charming wooden bridges and causeways, revealing the seamless blend of Baroque urban planning and natural archipelago landscape that earned Karlskrona its UNESCO status. You'll discover the colourful 18th-century wooden houses of Björkholmen (Sweden's best-preserved such neighbourhood), the evocative naval workers' quarter of Brändaholm, and hidden viewpoints with panoramic sea vistas. The pace is relaxed and conversational — a world away from rushed sightseeing.
Good to know
Tours depart from the Tourist Centre near Stortorget — a short taxi or 10-minute walk from the pier. Wear comfortable walking shoes; some cobbled and uneven surfaces. The 2-hour duration fits neatly within most port calls. Pre-book directly via the Visit Karlskrona tourist office.
