Museumship Pommern

The museumship Pommern is the world’s only 4-masted sailing ship still in its original state. On board you can explore the ship from hold to charthouse. The ship is a part of the Aland Maritime Museum, an exciting museum for children and adults alike. The exhibitions are filled with dramatic stories, fantastic objects and lots of interactivities. The Aland Maritime Museum is open all year round, the museumship Pommern between May and September.

Touring the Pommern was so much fun with the headphones narrated by the ship's rat, Ruby. I absolutely loved climbing around all the rooms in the ship and seeing where different sailors got to sleep (LOVE the bunks!). The officer's quarters were so ornately decorated, and the captain's cabin has a little tube running from the deck straight to his bed so he can speak with whomever is on deck. Down in the vast hold you can experience a storm at sea. Excellent exhibits.

Kobba Klintar

Old pilot station, museum and cafe.

Reviewed By teadrinker7 - Stockholm, Sweden

4 of us took kayaks and paddled to the island. It’s not difficult if you paddled before (it can get a little choppy near Kobba klintar, I suggest not going if it’s more than 8 m/s wind) and can read a map, just watch out for the ferry crossings, so make sure you reach the island before 13 and stay until 14:30, during which time you can have a sandwich, a coffee and see the small museum.

Aland Maritime Museum

A visit to the Aland Maritime Museum is exciting for children and adults alike. The exhibitions are filled with dramatic stories and fantastic objects, such a genuine 18th century pirate’s flag. There are also lots of interactivities, such as a climbing mast, a bridge simulator and a karaoke. Seadog, landlubber or in between - Aland Maritime Museum has something for everybody.

Reviewed By Lauramie - Espoo, Finland

Maritime museum is very interresting place to visit for people all ages. We have three kids, ages 6, 12 and 15 and we all enjoyed our visit very much. There was a quiz for children and they loved it! They got an icecream as a prize. If you visit Mariehamn, you should definately visit Maritim Museum.

Kastelholm Castle

Reviewed By Svenskaklubben - Helsinki, Finland

The Kastelholm castle might be small compared to other of the same era, but it's rather well preserved and its vast history is portrayed with dignity. The refurbished areas are well made, but it had not been rebuilt for the sake of itself. The sometimes violent past is also visible. The icing on the cake - or actually even maybe the cake itself - was an excellent guided tour in English (other available languages are Finnish and Swedish). Filled with humour and carefully hand picked historical details, the one-hour-tour flew by like it would have only lasted a few minutes. There's also the opportunity to visit the castle on your own, but the guided tour is strongly recommended.
