The fun for kids Karlskrona card is a card that allows your family to benefit from a lot of offers in and around the town of Karlskrona in southern Sweden. It is a card personal to you (cannot be used by any other individual), and is valid from 1st May 2018 – 30th April 2019. So if you live in …
The Blekinge Museum is a fantastic place to visit (free for children, and adults only need to pay in the summer months). It can be found in the centre of Karlskrona, and although I was initially wondering whether my three would enjoy a trip there (indoor exhibitions are not really their thing), I was really pleasantly surprised. Although, after two …
Karlskrona Marinmuseum offers an in depth look at Swedish naval history. The museum is currently free, and is well worth a visit if you are in Karlskrona, in Southern Sweden. It is housed in a lovely building, and done really well with lots of interactive features for children (and buttons to press for twin 1, who if he ever came …

The 5th October marks 2 years since we arrived, joined Dadda, and started our life in Sweden…it has gone crazy fast and I can’t believe we have already been here that long. Our little people are starting to be not so little anymore, and all three have now started school here. I have previously reflected back at the 6 month point and …
Kalmar Slott is a beautiful and imposing castle, that on the day we visited, mysteriously appeared out of the fog when we were almost on top of it. It is set in a beautiful location with lots of green areas, and water surrounding it. It is an exciting place for any children to visit and imagine what life would have …

The fabulous summer weather made the adventures much easier for us, …
