"Visit the Baltic island of Öland Fly into Kalmar from Stockholm (less than an hour), pick up a rental car, and drive over to this island, a major vacation spot for Swedes due to its temperate climate. You can also catch the ferry that runs between Oskarshamn and Byxelkrok. You could easily spend 2-3 nights exploring historic Viking sites such as Gettlinge and Eketorp—one of 19 Iron Age ring forts across the island."

After Kalmar, through the big bridge you can enter the island. This island has lot of castles and beaches to visit. It's not like typical Sweden as you can see some farm animals are freely laying side of the roads in some places. We visited Borgholm castle and it looks whole day to visit there as it was a big enough to spend whole day. So if you want to explore whole island one day or two may not be enough. There were lot of wind mills along the road.A good place to spend your summer vacation.

It is a very beautiful island with diverse landscapes. It is possible to visit this island in one day. It is also possible to book a stuga in Öland and this way one could get more of the island. It is also ideal for a longer weekend trip. Ideal for family with or without children. We stayed in Kalmar and left early for Öland and we covered most of the popular places if not all. It is good to carry your own food and water if you like. Not very many restaurants around here. We carried our own bread, juice and so on. By the time we left the island, it was already time for dinner. So, we headed straight to Kalmar and ate our dinner. It’s worth the trip.

A Island with a lot of histoy. Long pebble beaches. Very flat and open. Great place to watch birds and a beautiful Sunset. A quiet place to unlock.

A nice island in the south of Sweden to explore during weekends. Here you can go by cars or boats. I recommend to stay in the central of the island so it is easier to get around
