Lumparland is a municipality on Åland. It is one of the smallest municipalities in the Nordic countries in terms of both land area and number of residents. Långnäs harbor makes it a notable transport hub though.
Understand
Get in
By car
Lumparland is at the end of highway 3, connecting it to Mariehamn.
By bus
Lumparland is served by Ålandstrafiken bus line 5. Terminus is 🌍 Klemetsby bus stop, next to the grocery store. Some departures pick up passengers at Långnäs and Svinö harbors. See Ålandstrafiken timetables for details. The bus stop is located at the pier in Svinö and between ferry piers in Långnäs. One-way bus ticket from/to Mariehamn cost €2.5/adult.
If you are arriving from Föglö, notice, that you have only few minutes to get the bus. Even though the bus is waiting at the pier it is advised to make sure you depart the ferry before the cars.
By boat
The 🌍 Långnäs harbor is one of Åland's main ports – and the main port if Mariehamn is not available due to weather conditions. Cruise ships between Finland and Sweden call at Långnäs around midnight, and therefore the port is of little importance to those traveling on them.
However, Långnäs is also the western end of two services of Ålandstrafiken: the southern line going to Överö, Sottunga, Kökar and Galtby, as well as the cross line going to Överö, Sottunga and Kumlinge. For these passengers it is of major importance.
Finally, there's a ferry from/to Degerby from 🌍 Svinö ferry jetty.
Both Långnäs and Svinö harbors are served by Ålandstrafiken bus line 5. Single ticket from/to Mariehamn cost €2.5 per adult. Notice that there is no night service. For those who leave a cruise ship in Långnäs at night, Viking Line operates bus connection to Mariehamn with price €19 per adult.
