Editor's Choice: Åland Islands

This selection highlights the maritime and cultural heritage of the Åland Islands. Centered in Mariehamn, the Åland Maritime Museum and the 1903 four-masted barque Pommern document the region's seafaring history and global trade routes. The Åland Museum provides insight into the archipelago's development from the Stone Age to the present. In Sund, the Jan Karlsgården open-air museum showcases 19th-century farming life, while the adjacent Vita Björn, a former crown prison dating to 1784, offers a look into early penal history.
