The subreddit for the autonomous swedish speaking region of Finland named The Åland Islands.

For Aalanders of Reddit.

Posts in scandinavian languages or English are welcome

To the finns who think this is unfair, remember : Åland is a monolingual part of Finland with swedish as the official language. (And the people of Åland suck at finnish)

Thinking of coming to Åland for vaccation?

Check out the Wiki to see some things to do and see.

Company Registry In The Aland Islands?

Hi there,

Is there a way that I can view which companies are registered in the Aland islands? Do they have their own public companies register, or will these have to be requested via a form / email?

Thanks!

Question regarding Åland license plates...

Hello there!

I am very interested in license plates and I make license plate mods for games like BeamNG. I try to make them as realistic as possible with custom IRL fonts, designs, generators and even 3D models. I am currently working a pack of Scandinavian license plates. However, I was unable to find information on the size of the license plates of Åland. I have already asked r/LICENSEPLATES and all gave me different information, especially with the height as some said 13cm and some 11cm. I already know that the size varies based upon the lenght of the text on the plate, but I would like to get the size of them to make the 3D model. Since I neither speak Finnish nor Swedish and Google translate also didn't give me any information, I am asking you if you happen to know the exact sizes or if can direct me to a place where I can find such information.

Thanks in advance, greetings from Germany :D

Standard tourist questions!

I am visiting Mariehamn for the whole day in April on a Sunday, which after some research, looks like the worst day of the week for things to do! Haha. The impression i get looking from outside is that its a quiet a sleepy town, but there's got to be some things going on right?! I'm even contemplating renting a car for the day for something to do! Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙌🏻 Tack så mycket / Kiitos!

Are any of you musicians in here? [Åland musicians thread?] 👀

Hi, hope you're all faring well during the cold ass winter days 😴 I was curious to know if there are any musicians here? I thought we could maybe share some of our music in this post and have a fun lil discussion ^ ^

This is one of my more recent covers of a song from Beck's 1994 album "Mellow Gold"

Anyway, hope to hear some sounds from the Åland music scene 😝

Kan en rysk medborgare med uppehållstillstånd i Schengenzonen resa till Åland genom Norrtälje?

Jag vet att ryska medborgare får förståeligt inte komma in i Finland just nu men sedan Åland är ett autonom territorium undrade jag om det är möjligen annorlunda där, men fick inte svar på Google

Blivande ålänning här. Är det bara att glömma nätshopping framöver eller går det att komma runt tullavgiften på något sätt?

Hello all! I am a license plate collector from the Netherlands. I am looking for some one who can help me get license plate(s) from Åland. These plates must be acquired legally ofcourse (dont steal them please, thats my only rule) I can cover shipping costs and maybe also additional costs if not too much. Thanks!

Help

Hello I have only recently heard about the Aland islands 🇦🇽 and been looking into visiting. I’ve noticed you can travel between Estonia and Aland islands so was wondering if anyone had used the ferry service and what it’s like. Also I was wondering what is the best time of year to visit and good activities and sights to visit whilst there. Any advice will be greatly appreciated

How is life for people who only speak English on the islands?

Finland and Sweden both do well with English speaking only people, but I was curious how it was seen in Aland. Is there any chance for people who only speak English to live and work there, or do you pretty much need Swedish?

Just kind of curious as I've never been and wondered if the lifestyle was much different than the neighbors.

Mindre kända smultronställen/affärer?

Hej! Ska till Åland för första gången och tänkte höra efter om det finns några intressanta pärlor som missas av medelturisten, gärna barnvänligt då småbarn är med. Även butiker/gårdsbutiker som är lite extra. Vi kommer t.ex. besöka Övfergårds, Amalias Limonadfabrik och Taffel chipsfabrik, finns det fler liknande ställen värda att besöka?

I was born and raised in New York City. Both of my parents were born and raised on Åland. Any others of Åland descent who were born and raised outside of Åland? I'd love to hear your stories.

Jag kommer att flytta till Mariehamn

Hej allihoppa!

Första måste jag säga förlåt om mitt svenska har några misstag, det är inte mitt modersmål. Jag har precis fått ett jobb i Åland och kommer att flytta dit i slutet av detta år från Rumänien.

Hur är livet i Mariehamn? Är det svårt att hitta vänner i 20-årsåldern (mina intressen är i konst, comic böcker, djur, dataspeler, DnD, vetenskap osv)?

Hur är vädret i vintern (mycket snö eller bara blåsig och kallt)?

Hur mycket är hyran genomsnitt för en etta + kök? Jag har redan anmält mig till Marstadskö.

Tack på förhand! Jag ser fram emot flytten!
