Boat excursions

A beautiful view across the Åland Sea and a historically interesting environment makes the island Kobba Klintar, by the inlet to Mariehamn's western harbour, a popular excursion destination.

The oldest of the staffed lighthouses in Åland were built in the mid 1800’s. Here, way out at sea, lived the lighthouse-keepers in a harsh environment, far from the rest of the society.

Here you will find examples of a route that is fun to drive (or cycle) – at least if you like twist and turns. Drive the whole route from Mariehamn and back again or just selected parts. Note that road names are not always signed along all roads.

There is a well built network of roads in Åland, a total of 912 kilometres of public roads. The main roads are four, and some 30 bridges and road banks connect the different islands. Some islands are connected by cable ferries that traffic round the clock.
