The earliest mention of Stockholm in writing dates from 1252, when it was an important post in the iron trade from the mines in Bergslagen. The first part of the name — stock — means log, while the last part — holm — means islet or small island. The full origin of the name is disputed. The city is said to have been founded by Birger Jarl in order to protect Sweden from invasion from the sea by foreign navies and to stop pillage of the cities such as Sigtuna on Lake Mälaren. The first building at Stockholm was a fortification for the purpose of controlling the traffic between the Baltic Sea and Mälaren. Under the leadership of Magnus Ladulås Stockholm developed into an important trade city in the following decades, advanced through relations with Lübeck of the Hansa league. In 1270 Stockholm appears in historical documents as a city and in 1289 it was described as the most populated city in the Swedish region.
Found on the eastern mainland of Aland, an archipelago belonging to Finland, Langnas is a purely Swedish speaking Finnish town offering ferry routes to coastal towns around Scandinavia. There are weekly crossings to other ports found in Finland, and also a daily sailing to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Langnas Port is very popular among travellers largely because it is one of only a few duty-free ports dotted around the world. All the cruise ships operate in international waters, as a result, passengers are allowed access to duty free shops whilst on board. Some cruise ships only allow passengers to consume the alcohol purchased after the sailing has elapsed, though this is not always the case – it is best to check with the company before departure. To save time, progress is being made to build a duty free app, where passengers can purchase duty free items online then collect them once in the store. Langnas is a tiny harbour in Lumparland, therefore it lacks the facilities to become a hotbed of tourism. The surrounding county of Lumparland offers picturesque views of green meadows and steep hills, as well as a breath-taking view from the top of Lumpokasen Mountain. Taxi is probably the best way to get around Langnas, with a taxi service readily available at all times. For transport to and from the port, there is a bus service which stops just across the road from the ferry terminal.
