This family's experience:

Activities: We took a ferry to the Southern Archipelago and visited Brännö. We walked around the island, starting from the highest point for an overview, then through a birch forest to the beach

Highlights: The car-free islands are perfect for walks. We enjoyed the walk through the birch forest, and the views from the highest point, and finished with 'fika' in an island restaurant ✨
