Stockholm Archipelago

The Stockholm archipelago is a unique and spectacular place consisting of over 24,000 islands and islets, forming a huge fan shape. Though thousands of people live here, there are many summer visitors to the islands. Tourists can reach here by public transport such as buses, local trains or cars which take only an hour to reach any small island. From there, you can continue to travel by boat to even more mysterious and breathtaking corners of the islands. For tourists wanting the best experience, the wisest choice is undoubtedly to take a traditional white ferry trip from Stockholm city center. Many of these ferries were built in the 19th or early 20th centuries, but are still in operation, providing unforgettable experiences for tourists.
