Stockholm archipelago – a part of the wild nature of Scandinavia

Just beyond Stockholm lies one of the last accessible wildernesses close to a capital city — 30,000 islands and skerries known as the Stockholm Archipelago. In this article series, we explore the landscapes, weather, light, and traditions that make this island world so unique.

The Stockholm Archipelago is often described as peaceful and beautiful — but it is also a landscape shaped by weather, openness, and the constant presence of the sea.

These articles are shaped by time spent on the water, moving between islands, seasons, and changing conditions.

More chapters in this series will be published soon in our guide to the archipelago.
