Last year a new cultural center – Artipelag – appeared on Varmdo Island. Peacefully resting among the pines and firs, it features exhibition halls, a couple of restaurants, promenade with wooden decking, wooden veranda, design store, lecture hall, rooftop terrace, and a stage. A wide range of events is available – from operas (Royal Drama Theatre has already appeared before its footlights) to skateboarding festivals (ramps are installed for that one). The Island can be reached in 20 minutes by car or in 60 minutes by ferry.
