About
Nopeat faktat: Several ships lie so close that the walk shifts quickly between narrow cabins and open decks. The rhythm of the machinery, salt spray from the water and cold metal under your hands make the experience unexpectedly physical and loud.
Kohokohdat: Climb up to the command bridge on HMS Smaland and feel the wind around your ears while the metal under your feet vibrates slightly. Yellow lanterns cast small circles of light over rusty rivets, and the sound from an old diesel engine gives the whole place an almost bodily presence.
Insider tips
- Dress in layers and bring a windproof jacket, decks get cold and exposed even in summer.
- Wear sturdy, non-slip shoes for metal stairs, gangways and oily surfaces.
- Head to the submarine early in your visit to avoid long queues and tight, crowded passages.
- Accessible routes are limited; if mobility is restricted, ask staff about accessible areas and skip lower engine rooms.
