Kalmar Capital

Kalmar

Kalmar is a city on Sweden’s southeast coast, facing the Kalmarsund sound and the island of Öland. It has a Renaissance castle surrounded by water, where the Union of Kalmar was signed in 1397, a 17th-century centre on the island of Kvarnholmen with Tessin’s baroque cathedral, and a museum with finds from the ship Kronan. A 6 km bridge leads to Öland.

Kalmar

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.
