Stockholm Archipelago
In spite of many city attractions, Stockholm’s greatest asset by far is the archipelago. This collection of tens of thousands of islands in the Baltic Sea is just outside of the city. Great for a day trip or an overnight. Popular destinations are: Fjäderholmarna, Finnhamn, Grinda, Vaxholm, Möja, Sandhamn, and Utö. Most of these offer an excellent selection of restaurants, spas, and accommodation, from exclusive hotels and inns to simple hostels and camping grounds.
You can jump on a boat taking one of the classic white ferries departing from Nybrokajen or Blasieholmen in central Stockholm. For more information, visit Visitor's Guide: Stockholm Archipelago, Sightseeing: with Stromma, and Sightseeing: with Vaxholmsbolaget.
