A great meeting place for wine, food and shopping can be found in the Telegrafen shopping centre on Torggatan 6 in Mariehamn.
Although Telegrafen is a brand new building, the facade blends so well into the townscape that it feels like it has been here for many decades. The building is also an attraction in itself. The exterior is adorned with Åland's first living plant wall and inside Telegrafen one of the city's oldest stone buildings is preserved.
Wine bar and restaurant
The charming amplifier station from 1928 now houses Åland's only wine bar, decorated in an art deco style that breathes 1920s elegance. Here you can take part in wine tastings or sit down and enjoy a charcuterie board and selected wines in the relaxed setting.
In the square outside the wine bar, the Sub & Pasta restaurant serves a wide selection of subs with different fillings and pasta dishes for both lunch and dinner. Choose from ready-made options, or pick your own favourite sub. Then sit down under the oak tree and enjoy the flavours.
A town within a town
The square, the wine bar, the shop fronts and all the little alleys give the whole Telegrafen the feeling of being a town within a town. In addition to wine and good food, the expanding selection also includes Åland's tourist information centre, Alko, the clothing store Zic Zac, Synsam, Designmagasinet and Dagmar's delicatessen.
