King’s Road (Finnish: Kuninkaantie, Swedish: Kungsvägen) is an old mailing route in Northern Europe dating back to the 14th century, starting from Bergen in Norway on the Atlantic coast, passing through the capitals of Norway and Sweden (Oslo and Stockholm) crossing the sea through the Åland archipelago to Turku in SW Finland and ending up in Vyborg in Russia.
King’s Road is the first official scenic route in Finland, and a good amount of interesting and historically significant attractions and landmarks can be found along the route. The colourful and rich history of the municipalities along the route is present in castles, fortresses, mansions, towns, landmarks, and churches.
King’s Road platform is open to all attractions and services along the route. Please contact Kuninkaantien ry (King’s Road Association) for your service or business to be added.
This platform was developed as a part of King’s Road Renascence project and in co-operation with Xamk and Metropolia schools of applied sciences. Further information regarding the project can be found here: King’s Road Renascence.
