Parking
For visitors to Öregrund, the large tourist car park at Sven Perssonhallen is primarily recommended. Here you will find plenty of parking spaces, motorhome pitches, and public toilets. From the car park, it is only about a five-minute walk to the harbour and Tallparken.
There are also parking facilities in Västerhamn and at the harbour, but during the summer these are often quickly full. For a smooth visit, especially during peak season, the tourist car park is therefore the best choice.
Cycle on Gräsö
Cycling on Gräsö is one of the best ways to experience the island's natural and cultural landscapes. There are several cycling routes, from shorter circuits to longer day trips, that will take you through village environments, forests, coastal scenery, and beautiful viewpoints.
The popular intermediate route is approximately 20 kilometres and goes from the ferry terminal around the island's varied landscape, with both asphalt and forest roads. Along the way, you will pass sights, swimming spots, and genuine Gräsö environments. For those who want to discover more, there are also both shorter and longer cycling trails. Bicycles are available for hire on Gräsö, making it easy to set off on an exploration.

Discover Öregrund
One of Sweden's best-preserved wooden towns
Öregrund is one of Sweden's best-preserved wooden towns and a unique historical gem in Roslagen. With its narrow alleys, colourful wooden houses, boathouses and small-town charm, Öregrund carries a long history stretching back to the Middle Ages. The town received its town privileges as early as the 15th century and grew into an important port and trading post along the Roslagen coast.
After the town fire of 1829, large parts of Öregrund were rebuilt in wood, which has shaped the town's character to this day. The well-preserved wooden houses, many from the 19th century, make Öregrund one of Sweden's most popular wooden towns and a cherished destination for those who wish to experience an authentic archipelago environment, cultural history, and Swedish small-town idyll.
Popular seaside resort
During the 1800s, Öregrund also became a popular seaside resort, where summer guests from all over the country flocked to the sea air, the social life and the beautiful archipelago. The legacy of the seaside resort era lives on in the town's atmosphere, architecture and promenades.
Walking through Öregrund is like travelling through history – from old captains' houses and cobbled streets to maritime environments and classic wooden villas. Today, the wooden town of Öregrund attracts visitors seeking history, archipelago, culture, and charm in the heart of Roslagen.
