Kapellskär is a tiny community found on the fractured coast of Sweden’s south-eastern hump. This village, its shoreline hugging a stretch of the Baltic Sea peppered with small islands and atolls, is a well-known gateway between the mainland and the countries further east in Europe. In fact, Kapellskär is shaped almost entirely by a seaport that cuts a wedge into the coastline; the rest of the neighbourhood spread over just two or three small homes built upon a stubby peninsula. The whole village is sandwiched between the ice-cold waters of the Baltic and a thick belt of evergreen woodland. Hidden between the trees are a few holiday camps, the region’s flat landscape and mild climate making it the perfect place to pitch a tent or park a camper van. The port in Kapellskär curves all the way across the village coast and is often busy with traffic travelling in from the capital of Stockholm just over 50-miles south. Passenger ferries dock at the northern end of the harbour from the end of the largest pier. There are plenty of facilities available at the port including a streamlined check-in service, a short stay car park, and a departure hall featuring a restaurant, toilets and even a baby care room. One of Kapellskär’s biggest assets is its convenient location. It sits directly at the end of the E18 motorway which cuts through the heart of the northern half of Stockholm County and snakes unswervingly south to the cosmopolitan capital of Sweden. Buses and coaches regularly run along this route too, with services heading back and forth between the harbour and the Cityterminal in central Stockholm. There are a number of ferry routes currently operating from the port in Kapellskär throughout the week, all heading east to various destinations across the Baltic Sea. Services hosted by Finnlines sail to the nearby archipelago of Åland and the port of Långnäs, as well as to the village of Naantali slightly further away on the Finnish mainland. Other services include a Viking Line route to the Åland Island’s capital of Mariehamn and a DFDS Seaways line heading south-east to the shores of Estonia and the village of Paldiski.
Laying home to the country’s second biggest university, Turku is understandably a vibrant hub of youth and energy; frenetic clubs entice students and young people in a frenzy of frivolous nightlife. The whole city embodies an underlying enthusiasm which translates into a sea of positivity and happiness – visitors from Sweden and Aland are greeted by a wave of warmth and welcoming locals proudly representing Finland and its values. Despite its lively reputation, Turku is much more than a party town; religious and historical buildings adorn the skyline, creating a lengthy itinerary for a day of sightseeing - Turku Castle and Turku Cathedral are the standout attractions in a city covered in culture and history. To further your knowledge of the Finnish north coast, Turku City Library and several museums hold much information about the history of the city – Luostarinmaki Handcrafts Museum is a particular highlight. The cultural quest is easy to follow individually, however, Turku has such a wealth of food options that a food walk is available to visitors hoping to sample some quintessential Scandinavian dishes whilst in the area.
Excellent transport options exist around Turku; efficient bus, ferry and taxi services are in full operation, though oftentimes you won’t need them – much of the city centre can be covered by foot.
