The Stockholm archipelago is the largest of its kind in Sweden. With over 30,000 islands and islets that buffer the city from the Baltic Sea, the vast area has something for everyone. From idyllic villages and coastal towns, except lots of water and serene nature seemingly untouched by civilization. Luckily, visiting the archipelago is easy. During the summer and fall months, you can travel by ferry with Waxholmsbolaget or Strömma, and during the off-season, you can book your excursion with a water taxi or guided tour.
Even if you're just in Stockholm for a few days, taking a day trip into the archipelago can be one of the most rewarding parts of your visit. So click on to discover some of the best islands to visit in the Stockholm archipelago.
