Mariehamn is the small big city that surprises. More happens here than you might first think. Especially considering that the population is approaching 12,000 people.
Mariehamn is a vibrant and active city, where a surprisingly large number of cultures, religions and languages meet. The well-functioning maritime city from 1861 offers all the services you could wish for and has a wide range of culture, entertainment and activities.
While Mariehamn offers amenities similar to larger cities, residents have access to all the advantages of a small town. Distances are short and it is close between home, work and leisure activities. You can easily walk or cycle, which is perfect for anyone who desires a greener lifestyle.
The decision-making pathways between residents and decision-makers are also short, and it is easy to participate in the decision-making processes. Here life is simple and uncomplicated. You are 10 minutes from your career. 10 minutes from school and daycare. 10 minutes from leisure and activities.
