Frequently Asked Questions
In the west harbour, the one used by ships; the east harbour takes the sailing boats. Mariehamn stretches along a peninsula between the two, and you can cross the town on foot in half an hour, under the lime trees.
A four-masted barque launched in 1903, moored in the west harbour a short distance from the berths. It is considered the only one in the world preserved in its original state. It carried wheat from Australia to Europe during the last great grain races under sail in the 1930s.
Yes, freely, on a route running from the forecastle to the vast holds. Audio guides and staged scenes recreate crew life: barely twenty men to handle kilometres of rigging. Allow a good hour on board.
The adjoining maritime museum, with figureheads, models and the padded saloon of the Herzogin Cecilie, a famous wrecked sailing ship.
Because of Gustaf Erikson. This Mariehamn shipowner was, until the mid-twentieth century, the last in the world to run a commercial fleet of tall ships, bought cheaply as steam made them obsolete. His shadow falls across the whole town.
An autonomous, Swedish-speaking Finnish territory, demilitarised by international treaty since the nineteenth century. Mariehamn, the capital, was founded in 1861 under the Russian Empire and named after the Empress Maria Alexandrovna.
St George's church with its red steeple, comfortable wooden houses with glazed verandas, and a few cafés. Allow 25 to 30 minutes from one harbour to the other along this wide tree-lined avenue.
A working yard at the end of the east harbour where shipwrights and blacksmiths maintain traditional boats and the skills that go with them. You wander among workshops, slipways and upturned hulls, in a smell of pine tar.
The Åland pancake made with semolina, served with plum jam and whipped cream, in the cafés along the Esplanade. Farms nearby also sell dark bread, cheese and apple juice.
Take a bicycle: the roads are flat, distances short and lanes quiet, between fields, pine woods and red granite islets where boathouses are mirrored in a tideless sea. Half an hour away, the medieval castle of Kastelholm, a former Swedish stronghold surrounded by meadows.
