Thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks for the tour of Karlskrona! I think Karlskrona is a real gem among swedish cities. Granted, I grew up reasoanbly close to Karlskrona so I have been there many times. I have not been to all other cities in Sweden, but still I would say that Karlskrona is really nice and very underrated. The choice to found a city on the Island of Trossö and later on the surrounding islands has created a really special scenery, it is like Stockholm in a way with lots of water and different islands, albeit of course a lot smaller and more limited scale. The fact that one can still feel that strong presence of shipbuilding/military in the city is great and all the historical buildnings from several hundred years back gives a unique atmosphere in my view. I think that Stortorget is the biggest stone-clad square in northern Europe (now how that is defined...). I think it is interesting that they built two so big churches (Trefaldighetskyrkan, and Fredrikskyrkan) so close to eachother both in location and in time. Also they already had a church (Amiralitetskyrkan) in place. They sure felt a big demand for churches at that time! The area of Stumholmen is very beautiful with all the surrounding water I think and I really recommend the Marine Museum situated there. Another thing that I would recommend to visitors is to take a trip in the archipelago. There are boats that go (from Fisktorget I think) on a route to 5-6 different islands/places in the archipelago. Then you can select at each stop if you want embark and if you do you can just catch a later boat to bring you to the next island/place. It is really nice and gives a really pleasant experience of life and surroundings in the archipelago.
Thanks! Yeah, Karlskrona was a really nice city.
Speaking of Amiralitetskyrkan, I really wanted to visit it (and Rosenbom), sadly it was in the area where I didn't really dare walk around with a camera, and that seems to have been a good choice. As far as I can tell, "Sjöstridsskolan" right next to it seems to be one of those protected places which you're not allowed to take photos or videos of.
I will have to give the boats a try next time I visit Karlskrona.

Yeah, that area is closer to the current active military installations. To be honest, I have been there but never really thought about the photo limitations but of course if one wants to film that is a factor to consider! Karlskrona has a lot of very nice views to the water on the different islands. For people who have a small boat and like to spend time on the water it is perfect city.
