Nynashamn Guide

Nynashamn is a Swedish town and port located in Stockholm County and is around 60 km to the south of Stockholm, Sweden's capital city. The early part of the 20th century saw Nynashamn become a popular spa town but unfortunately many of the facilities were closed before the end of World War I. The city then developed when main industries arrived through Telegrafverkets verkstäder (the factories of the Government owned telephone company ) in 1916 and then an oil refinery was built in 1928-29 by Axel Axson Johnson & Co.

Popular events in the town include the harbour party that is hosted each summer and some local craft fairs. When these events are held there is often a steam train that operates between the town and Stockholm and the town's harbour is usually brimming with boats of all sizes and buzzing with many visitors mingling with the town's residents. The town is mainly modern without much to see but there are a number of restaurants and cafes where you can sample some locally made produce.

From the port, ferries can be taken to Gotland and Gdansk in Poland.
