Archipelago of Stockholm

Archipelago Värmdö, Stockholm County, Sweden

What to expect

The Stockholm Archipelago is a vast and beautiful destination, consisting of over 30,000 islands, skerries, and rocks, stretching 80 kilometers east from the city into the Baltic Sea. It offers opportunities for swimming, outdoor activities, and enjoying traditional Swedish cuisine in the fresh sea air. The archipelago has a unique landscape, with barren, wind-swept cliffs and skerries blending with lush forests, green meadows, and salty Baltic water. Visitors can explore the islands by foot, sailboat, or kayak, and enjoy activities such as hiking, fishing, and cycling. There are many accommodations available, ranging from camping sites and hostels to exclusive spa hotels, and plenty of options for dining, including traditional Swedish restaurants and cafes. The Stockholm Archipelago Trail, a 270-kilometer-long hiking trail, connects 20 picturesque islands and offers a unique experience for nature lovers and adventure seekers
