Here I am again! I’ve been enjoying the summer in Stockholm like I always do – out at sea. The last time I travelled I opted for the closest of all of Stockholm’s archipelagic islands, The Fjäderholmarna.
The islands that together comprise Fjäderholmarna (The Bay Islands) are easily reached by a mere 25-minute boat ride from the city centre. The islands have quite an intriguing part of Stockholm history, being first mentioned in an official document back in 1381 when a Swedish viceroy bought one of them. Since then, the group of islands have been both inhabited, as well as uninhabited. Having been in possession of both the Swedish navy as well as regular Stockholmers who were simply living their lives there. The main island, Fjäderholmen, once had a restaurant that could hold 550 guests! Although always an important position along the vital sea route to the city, these islands are today part of the unique national park of Stockholm and have therefore become a popular tourist destination for anyone who enjoys a nice sight. I went out and wandered along the historic buildings and inspected everything, including museums, cafés, restaurants, the marina, and also a wide variety of craftsmen and women who ply their trade according to historic fashion. Head on out to Fjäderholmarna for a nice day in Stockholm’s closest archipelagic islands! Find out more here!
Have an even nicer day!
