The bigger islands outside Karlskrona are the ones most worth seeing, partly because they are more accessible but also because there is more to see. The two most interesting attractions are the Drottningskär Citadel on Aspö and the Kungsholm Fortress on Kungsholmen, between Aspö and Tjurkö. On the 20-minute ride out to Aspö you will pass the skerry with the little fortress called Godnatt (Goodnight) on your left. It looks as if it was built on the water’s surface since it covers the entire skerry. The good thing about Aspö is that, despite being a fairly small island, it has a lot to offer, with activities such as hiking, biking, horseback riding, tennis, bathing and much more.
You get a good bit of culture here as well if you visit the art gallery and the old Drottningskär Citadel, which dates from the 17th century and is well preserved. The citadel was built on the tip of the eastern part of Aspö to overlook all ships headed for the city. Guided tours are offered if you contact the tourist office. There is also a restaurant in the citadel with a fascinating 17th century atmosphere (see Places to Eat).
