Join Lovisa Furubo on a wonderful winter day on Öland. Fill the day with cozy coffee stops, inspiring shops, good food and a refreshing moment by the sea. Here are Lovisa's tips for a perfect winter excursion on the island.
Go to Gårdby Lanthandel and choose one of their pang sandwiches for breakfast. Finish with coffee (absolutely essential if you, like me, are gluten-allergic, because this is heaven for us too!!)
When you've finished eating, you can go and browse the small shops. A general store has been operating here since 1923, and you can find everything from carefully selected interior design to clothing and food crafts in an incredibly cozy environment.
Then you head towards Borgholm and enjoy the scenery along the way.
Favorite shop in this city: Kookon by Sweden, which sells ceramics and textiles made from sustainable materials. Don't miss the pillows and kimonos made from vintage Japanese fabrics.
Plan a late lunch at Restaurang Norrings and enjoy incredible flavors in a cozy environment. Next time we'll schedule a quiz night!
Stop by Borgholms Bokhandel and browse the shelves. There are books for both adults and children.
And before you drive onto the bridge again, you make a stop at the paradise workshop, dream about all the ceramics you could want and maybe finish with a coffee in their cozy café.
