The Swedish town and port of Kapellskar is located on the Baltic Sea coast, around 90 km to the north of Stockholm. The town is in Norrtalje Municipality which is in Stockholm county in east central Sweden. The municipality was created in 1971 through the amalgamation of several former municipalities and is now the largest and northernmost municipality in Stockholm County. Many of the houses in the region are summer cottages, only inhabited during summertime. This is due to its geographical location by the Stockholm archipelago, which makes it popular among Stockholmers and tourists.
It is the most northern port in "the ports of Stockholm" and is an important port for both passengers and cargo departing to destinations in Finland, Norway, Russia and the Baltics. The port is popular because it has a very short approach which makes it ideal for fast sailings and turnarounds.
The autonomous territory of Mariehamn, which is under Finish sovereignty, is the capital of Aland and its town and harbour is a great place to explore and can be done so quite easily on foot, by bicycle or by bus. The four masted barque and sailing ship Pommern is located where ferries arrive in the town and is below Aland's Maritime Museum by the Badhusparken. A popular attraction in the town is St. Goran's Church which is located halfway along the Esplanaden Boulevard, which is lined with Lime trees and runs from Vasterhamn to Osterhamn. It is worth heading into central Mariehamn to the Torgatten pedestrian precinct as this is where many of the town's shops, cafes and restaurants can be found here. In this area is where you will also find the town and region's seat of power, the Sjalvstyrelsegarden, which is made up of Aland's parliament and provincial government, the town hall and other government buildings.
The town is located on a peninsular and has two main harbours, one on the western shore and the other on the eastern shore. Both remain ice-free for almost the whole year and are non-tidal. The western harbour is where daily services to Sweden, Estonia and mainland depart from. The town's eastern harbour is the location of one of the largest marinas in Scandinavia.
