Traveling
Getting to Archipelacon and to Mariehamn in general is simple. We are arranging a group travel on ro-ro ferries both from Stockholm and from Turku. The information for group travellers can be found here.
If our group travel does not fit your schedule, there are quite a few other options.
Mariehamn
Mariehamn is a beautiful and welcoming town with dozens of restaurants from fast food to fine dining, and lots of opportunities to spend your money on local delicacies and handicrafts. Take a look at the Archipelacon Google map.
Programme
Our program has been published! Create your own program schedule on our mobile site . We also have a fantastic international art show of pirate sf and evening parties.
