Did you know there are 30,000 islands off the coast of Stockholm? The entire country consists of more than 260,000 islands! That tallies up to a great length of beautiful Swedish coastline and an abundance of wild nature.

You can’t visit Stockholm and not experience the archipelago. We picked an island to visit and took a steamboat from central Stockholm to get there, one with numerous stops along the way over the course of a few hours. It was interesting to pass by countless rocky and forested islands, some tiny, some large, as well as watch people as they relaxed outside their charming summer cottages and sail in the sea as we simply appreciated the wild beauty of this archipelago.
On the island of Utö we rented a cottage, rode bicycles, swam in the sea and ate the famous Utö bread at the local bakery. What a fantastic way to soak up nature and the sublime scenery the archipelago has to offer!
