Karlskrona is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that blends history and modernity. Founded in 1680, the city’s naval heritage is visible throughout, with impressive shipyards and naval facilities still in operation. Beyond the city’s historic core, Karlskrona offers a unique opportunity to explore the stunning Blekinge archipelago. Hop on a boat tour and sail through a myriad of islands with rocky shores, sandy beaches, and dense forests. This pristine natural paradise is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and photographers alike.

Galleri Chapman is a contemporary art gallery situated on Drottninggatan, the central street of Karlskrona, Sweden. The gallery features a diverse range of art exhibitions that showcase artists working with various artistic media.
