Karlskrona Ferry Port Overview

Karlskrona Ferry Port is located on the small island of Verkö in Karlskrona. The port is easily accessible by rail and by road, and is adjacent to the E22 motorway, providing easy onward access to other destinations across the country.

Karlskrona is a city in South-East Sweden, and was founded in 1680 when the Royal Swedish Navy was relocated there. The city of Karlskrona is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and is an outstanding example of a 17th Century naval city. The archipelago of Karlskrona comprises over 90 islands, each with their own unique beauty and character, surrounding the centre of the town.

Karlskrona has many popular attractions, many relating to the city's naval heritage. The National Navy Museum has exhibitions depicting the Swedish Navy throughout history, and displays weapons, uniforms and shipyard handicrafts as well as a collection of 17th and 18th Century ship models and figureheads. Karlskrona is also home to the Blekinge Läns Museum (a museum of local history), and the Museum Leonardo Da Vinci Ideale. Every year in late July/early August a popular festival called The Sail takes place in the harbour of Karlskrona.

The town itself has plenty of historic sites, including the forts and walls of the city. The surrounding islands make a beautiful location in which to walk or tour by boat. The main square in Karlskrona is the biggest in Scandinavia, and the city is home to three 17th and 18th century churches, Fredrikskyrkan, Heliga Trefaldighetskyrkan and Amiralitetskyrkan. You can also visit the picturesque Wämö Park, which in summer plays host to markets, entertainment and much more.
