Mariehamn, Åland Islands

Panoramic Mariehamn

Enjoy Scenic Views over the Åland Archipelago Explore charming Mariehamn, a coastal town and port founded in 1861. Meet your guide and board your motor coach for a panoramic drive along Mariehamn’s streets. The first settlers in the town used their wealth to build grand houses; today, these residences have been converted into homes on a more modest scale. Marvel at the views over Åland’s archipelago from Badhusberget, a picturesque hillside more than 130 feet above sea level and home to the Mariehamn water tower. Drive along Järsö Road as your guide explains the island’s maritime history and how the town is known as the “port of the last windjammers.” Enjoy a photo stop to admire the medieval stone facade of St. Olaf’s Church in Jomala, then return to Mariehamn. You may choose to return to your ship, or take advantage of free entrance to the Åland Maritime Museum to explore its exhibits. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
