If golf is your passion, Blekinge boasts eight coastal golf clubs working together in a collaboration that has gained both popularity and awards. Fishing enthusiasts can take advantage of Blekinge’s famous salmon fishing—one of Sweden’s best—or enjoy a peaceful day by the many lakes, reeling in perch.

Anna also highlights the UNESCO World Heritage site of Karlskrona, home to the Naval Museum and the Blekinge Archipelago Biosphere Reserve.

This is a source of immense pride for the region,” she says. “UNESCO status is a quality stamp that adds deeper meaning to visitors’ experiences. Many are drawn to the world heritage aspect, and what makes it even more special is how it stretches across such a vast area, from Karlskrona’s archipelago to the heart of Blekinge.
