The city
What to expect from Borgholm.
Borgholm is Öland’s main town, the island across the bridge from Kalmar. Small, with wooden houses and a harbour, it sits next to the ruin of a Baroque castle and Solliden, the royal family’s summer residence, with gardens open in season. It’s the base for exploring the island: the windmills, the Stora Alvaret and the Eketorp fortress in the south.
