Review & FAQ:

Oland is an island located off the southeast coast of Sweden, and it is connected to the mainland by the Ölandsbron Bridge, a 6-kilometer long structure that leads to the city of Kalmar. The island is a popular destination among Swedes during the summer and even serves as the summer residence for the Swedish Royal Family, who live at the beautiful Solliden Palace on the island. The island is also home to the immense and imposing ruins of Borgholms Castle, which was originally built in the 12th century, and Eketorp Fortress, where visitors can learn about this ancient fort and even participate in some hands-on activities. At the southern end of the island is Stora Alvaret, a huge plateau made of limestone and packed with amazing flora.
