Laivasilta / Skeppsbron is the old harbour in Lovisa, with a row of old warehouse buildings housing different shops, cafes, restaurants and a maritime museum. It's a short walk from the city centre and definitely worth it. During the summer there's usually a lot of different events going on as well, so be sure to check it out.

I really like this part of Mariehamn, in my opinion the best, more interesting and picturesque. Great to see the old chapel, the fisherman houses, old boats, shipyards and the very atmospheric shops and museums (including a pub that look like a boat cabin) absolutely recommended visit
