Sweden
Someday we will visit Öland or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Öland

Öland is Sweden's second largest island, only Gotland is larger and of more importance. It lies in the Baltic Sea just off the coast of Småland, connected to the mainland by a bridge from Kalmar. Öland is popular among domestic tourists, many Swedes have had a summer cottage here for generations. Öland can be crowded by vacationers from Midsummer to mid-August.

The Borgholm Castle was built between 1669 and 1681 for Queen Hedvig Eleonora, and designed by Nicodemus Tessin the Elder. In its vicinity sits the Solliden Palace, summer home to the royal family.

Öland is the second largest of the islands of Sweden and was historically divided into one chartered city and five hundreds.
