Getting to Rosala

The Viking Centre is located on the beautiful island of Rosala, in the municipality of Kimitoön.

You can get to the island all year round by a free ferry from Kasnäs. The ferry ride from Kasnäs to Långnäs takes about 30 minutes. It is about 5 km from the island’s ferry pier Långnäs to the Viking Centre, and the route is great for cycling. Of course you can also arrive on foot or by car, and there are also two taxis on the islands.
