Medieval churches, contemporary art, nature reserves and archipelago - all within easy reach. Buildings that carry centuries of stories, galleries that challenge the eye, and parks that give the body rest.
From the UNESCO World Heritage site at Karlskrona to Brunnsparken at the heart of the town - culture and history live close together in Ronneby.
One of southern Sweden's largest year-round art galleries
Regional, national and international expression under one roof. Contemporary art, design and craft - a space that challenges habitual ways of seeing. Current and upcoming exhibitions are listed at Kulturcentrum Ronneby Konsthall.
History in stone and timber
Heliga Kors kyrka is one of Blekinge's best-preserved medieval churches, with roots going back to the 12th century. Ronneby's historic environments tell the story of a town with deep foundations - from the cobbled lanes of the centre to the manor houses of the surrounding countryside.
Brunnsparken - the spa town, still alive
One of Sweden's best-preserved spa environments. Naturum Blekinge, walking paths, listed buildings and protected nature - all gathered in a park landscape in the middle of the town.
A wholly singular place built by artist Susanne Demåne, who uses a chainsaw as her primary tool — shaping tree sculptures into an extraordinary cast of creatures. Worth a detour of its own.
