💡 Tips
- The historic Ronneby Brunnspark is best visited from late spring to early autumn when the gardens are in full bloom.
- Wear comfortable, flat shoes when exploring the Heliga Kors Kyrka (Holy Cross Church) area, as the surrounding streets have old cobblestones.
- If driving to the Brunnspark, use the designated parking lots near the main entrances, as parking inside the park limits is restricted.
- To explore the Blekinge archipelago, take the regional buses which connect well with the local ferry services.
🍽 Food
These heavy potato dumplings filled with pork are a regional staple. Find them in traditional lunch restaurants in the town center.
Blekinge is coastal; look for locally smoked salmon or herring at markets or riverside eateries.
Enjoy a coffee and pastry in one of the historic wooden villas within the spa park, reflecting the area's resort history.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
The old town area has small craft shops and galleries tucked away among the traditional wooden houses.
During summer, keep an eye out for "Loppis" (flea market) signs around Ronneby to find secondhand Swedish homewares and antiques.
Step away from the manicured lawns into the surrounding forest trails within the park for true quiet and nature.
The path along the Ronneby river provides a serene walk connecting the town center to the Brunnspark.

Ronneby is situated in the heart of Blekinge County, often referred to as the Garden of Sweden. The city is home to a long history dating back to the 12th century, when it served as a vital trading hub within the Danish realm. Among its most significant historical monuments is the 12th-century Heliga Kors Kyrka (Holy Cross Church), which survived the Ronneby Bloodbath of 1564 during the Northern Seven Years' War. In the 19th century, Ronneby gained fame as a premier spa resort following the discovery of mineral-rich chalybeate springs. The Ronneby Brunnspark, the former spa grounds, has been repeatedly voted Sweden's most beautiful park and now serves as a center for leisure and cultural events. Geographically, the city is bisected by the Ronnebyån River, which adds a dynamic element to the landscape. The urban architecture features elegant structures from its heyday as a spa town alongside modern industrial developments. Today, Ronneby is a prominent center for information technology and research while maintaining its legacy as a place of recovery.
