Just a few minutes away from the city of Stockholm, the archipelago begins.
With nearly 30,000 islands, islets and rocks - from Öregrund in the north to Landsort in the south - each with its own character. The Stockholm archipelago has been inhabited since the 6th century. Fishing combined with small-scale farming was the livelihood for the early inhabitants of the islands. Today, around 10 000 people live on the islands permanently. There are a few farmers left, mostly taking care of the islands on behalf of the government. If any reason is needed to go to the archipelago, it is to experience the unspoiled nature, clean air and unparalleled beauty of the sea.
