Culture and sights

Kultur & sevärt, Kastelholms slott

There is much to discover in a small space in Åland. The main island is no bigger than 45 km from north to south and 50 km from east to west. Its small size makes it easy to discover the whole of Åland.

Sightseeing in Åland means everything from the medieval Kastelholm castle and the maritime town, Mariehamn, with the museum ship Pommern, to all the fine museums and the beautiful archipelago. Don't forget to experience Ålander art, crafts and designs.

Opening hours and current information about exhibitions are found in the Åland Guide
