Eckerö post- och tullhus
Getting around: In Eckero, about 40km west of Mariehamn near the Sweden ferry terminal.
Hours: Seasonal, typically summer, with daytime hours — check current dates.
The Eckero Post and Customs House is a grand 1820s neoclassical building built for the historic mail route between Sweden and Russia via Aland, now a small museum on that postal and customs history near the modern Sweden ferry terminal.
A niche but atmospheric stop, of most interest to those already traveling the Sweden ferry route.
