Karlskrona is a stunning place, with its city center built on an island in the archipelago. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve makes for a unique combination that will be sure to impress you. However, on this guided walking tour we focus more on modern history and the way of life in Sweden. Are there really polar beers in the streets? What do we eat? Why do we have to go to a special store to buy our alcohol? And what is "Swedish fika"? Join our local and experienced guide to know all about it!
