While the Swedish capital itself is spread over 14 islands, another archipelago of more than 24,000 islands spreads out into the Baltic Sea. In the whole spectrum from small to large, from lonely to lively, from barren to densely wooded the archipelago shows itself in ever new postcard views and is not for nothing one of the most popular sailing areas in Sweden. There are many beautiful berths in the nature and good anchorages. Despite the proximity to the capital, it is advisable to do some proper shopping at the beginning, as many islands are not inhabited or there may not be sufficient supplies on site. In summer it is advisable to look for an anchorage early, as it can get accordingly crowded.
