Someday we will visit Karlskrona 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!

Karlskrona

Karlskrona, archaic spelling Carlskrona, is a city in Blekinge in southern Sweden. While the city has 35,000 inhabitants, around 60,000 live in the municipality, Karlskrona kommun.

The most important day in Karlskrona is the day before midsummer's eve. On that day a big fair takes place and attracts tens of thousands to visit Karlskrona. The fair is called Lövmarknaden (The Leaf Fair) and is very popular among the locals.

The city of Karlskrona is spread over 30 islands in the eastern part of Blekinge archipelago, Trossö being the main one;. Other populated mentionable islands are Saltö, Sturkö, Hästö, Långö and Aspö. The islet of Stumholmen was formerly property of the Navy and today it houses the National Naval Museum (Marinmuseum). Outside the city lies the archipelago of Karlskrona, the most southern of the Swedish archipelagos. Several islands are connected to the city by ferries.
