Naval Museum — Attraction in Karlskrona kommun

We went here on a rainy day. When you buy the tickets they give you a wrist band. There are also some free lockers to put your things. I recommend you start with the submarines and then go see the rest of the museum. It’s also good to go early because it gets very crowded around lunch time. They have a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. We didn’t eat there. Could be nice to try some local restaurants instead. The submarine section of the museum was by far the best part. The rest of the museum was okay but you could skip some parts here and there. If you really want to, you can stay there for a very long time. The museum is very big and there a lot of things to see. They have some interactive things here and there for kids to do. Outside the museum there are 3 ships you can get on, which was also very nice. I am a big gift shop buyer and their gift shop leaves a lot to be desired. They only had one children’s book for child and it wasn’t even about the museum. The souvenir also didn’t have many things about the...

I’ve been visiting the Blekinge region for years, and I must confess that this museum surprised me very positively with its accurate exhibitions and attention to detail. It transports you back in time and offers a magnified view beneath the surface of Karlskrona’s naval mastery.

The museum doesn’t earn a full five stars because the bistro offers only limited and rather bland plant-based options, while most Swedish classic meals served are centered around meat and fried fish. Moreover, I felt the museum’s exhibitions tended to present Sweden’s naval and military history in a way that passively promotes war. Despite being a civilian institution, the displays often focus on military achievements and hardware without encouraging deeper reflection on the consequences or ethical complexities of conflict. I would have appreciated a more critical perspective that invites visitors to consider the broader impacts of war, rather than treating it as an inevitable or unproblematic part of...

Wonderfully curated museum, with loads of super interesting artefacts and interactive activities (also a lot for children). And best: It‘s completely free! Open 10am-6pm. The ships outside are only open 11am until 5pm, so maybe visit those first. A highlight is definitely the fully-equipped submarine (including torpedo shafts) where you can see how the crew used to live back in the 90s when this submarine was last used. The periscope still works and you can see part of the Karlskrona marina with it! What adds an extra star (if you could give 6 stars) is the lunch buffet in their restaurant: 100kr. for delicious all-you-can-eat Swedish buffet (11am-3pm), including coffee, tea, water AND light beer! We ate 3 plates each and would have eaten more, if we hadn‘t been full, it...
