About the Kalmar Tullhamnen – Färjestadens hamn crossing
Eleven departures a day, 72 sailings a week, half an hour across the Kalmar Sound to Öland — from 07:30 to 21:30 on three day patterns.
What makes this route unusual is that it does not need to exist. The Öland Bridge has connected the island to the mainland since 1972, and at six kilometres it was the longest bridge in Europe when it opened.
The boat runs anyway, because a bridge carrying heavy summer traffic is not the same proposition as a half-hour crossing with a view of Kalmar Castle. Färjestaden's name means ferry town — it was the island's landing point for centuries before the bridge, and the service that returned there is retracing a very old route.
