The city
Small town on the eastern shore of Lake Vättern, between the water and a steep slope, with wooden houses along the main street. Gränna is the home of the polkagris, the striped peppermint candy, and of S. A. Andrée, who set off by balloon for the North Pole in 1897; the local museum tells his story. To the north, the ruins of Brahehus overlook the lake, and ferries leave from the harbor for the island of Visingsö.

The local experience
Grenna Museum, on the main square, dedicated to S. A. Andrée’s balloon voyage toward the Arctic in 1897 and to the history of polar exploration. It also presents the history of the town and of Amalia Eriksson, creator of the polkagris.
Ruins of a 17th-century castle of the Brahe family, on the top of the slope north of Gränna, beside the E4. From the site you can see Lake Vättern, the island of Visingsö and the opposite shore.
A long island in the middle of Lake Vättern, a few kilometres from Gränna, with ruins of medieval and 17th-century castles, old churches and a large oak wood. Reachable by ferry from Gränna’s port.
