We are extremely impressed how maritim history is arranged here. Especially kids will experience fun in facts and history. You see original parts of ships. Arranged over three floors. Facts which are different from pther maritim museums: e.g. the women on board, family, history till the 70th., and and and.
Absolutely worth to visit. Note: currently you pay one entry and can come back for free one more time. Nice offer.

If you are a ship lover specially the the old ships with sails this is the place you will find yourself most appropriately walking down the memory lane. The Museum has some rare and old exhibit of original navigational aids and items related to maritime era of challenging ocean going vessels.
The lay out of the Museum is very convenient and the ticket will include a visit to the Great ship Pommern with chance to visit the Captain's cabin and the cabins for all the seamen that may keep you wondering how difficult and harsh condition these seamen would have faced.You will also get a chance to put your hand on the captains wheels, a great chance to get photographed. It is advisable to carry your camera with you to record the history and your visit.The Musemum visit might take couple of hours depending upon your interest however you will need about 2-3 hours on the ship.

Old pilot station, museum and cafe.
Reviewed By Robin R - Brussels, Belgium
I visited Kobba Klintar one freezing cold day in November. Although the café was closed, the upshot was having the little island all to myself and appreciating its isolation. It's nice to wander around, watch the huge Ferries sailing past, and contemplate the beauty of nature. At first, it's easy to mistake the carefully placed two life-size statues for real people.

The Maritime Quarter (Sjökvarteret) is a very nice place especially if the weather is good. You see old wooden boathouses here. If you are lucky, you may even watch boat-building activities. There are also a museum (e.g. hot-bulb engines and old marine engines), a seafarers' chapel, a restaurant named Pub Niska and some handicraft or jewel boutiques here. It is free to walk here and watch historical buildings or beautiful views. We loved this place although it is quite small.

This small museum, housed in the same building as the Cultural History Museum, sets out a series of works by local artists. Given the island's small population, the number of indigenous artists is by definition limited but that are still a few noteworthy pieces in the room. Admission to the Cultural History Museum includes entry to the Art Museum.

Er was helaas geen wedstrijd maar we zijn wel even door het stadion gewandeld. Er is zowaar een vak voor uitsupporters, gescheiden van de rest door een A4tje

PAF Casino has moved into the same building with Hotel Arkipelag. It's a bit smaller inside, but the quality is good. There is some slots you can see in Las Vegas but there is also couple of 10-year old slots too.
Few poker tables and roulette is a good value too.
What a nice way to spend couple of euros and hours in Mariehamn.

During the Summer, you can book a guided visit (English or Swedish), and learn about Ålands´ history. The building is not nice or special, rather what it represents.
