Kungsholms Fort

View of Kungsholms Fort.

Karlskrona’s star is the extraordinary offshore Kungsholms Fort, with its curious circular harbour, established in 1680 to defend the town. The fort can only be visited on two-hour guided boat tours that must be booked through Karlskrona Turistbyrå or at the Marinmuseum. Highly recommended.
