Destinations

Some suggested destinations in the Gothenburg archipelago, each with something of its own to offer:

Vrångö: known for its beaches and its walking trails. The island has a strong maritime history and an unhurried feel, which makes it ideal for anyone who wants a quiet day outdoors. Its position at the outer edge of the archipelago is part of the appeal.

Styrsö: one of the larger islands in the southern archipelago, known for its landscape and for its well-preserved turn-of-the-century wooden houses. It has a long history and a living community, with shops, cafés and an old island church.

Brännö: known for its music and for the popular dance evenings on Brännö jetty. The island takes in everything from woodland to rock and good bathing places. A flight to Brännö offers not only the views but a real sense of island culture.

Källö-Knippla: a picturesque fishing village of narrow lanes and brightly painted houses. The island is excellent for photography and a fine choice for anyone who wants the traditional archipelago at close quarters.

Hönö: a busy island and a focal point of the northern archipelago. It is known for its fishing industry and offers a mix of landscape and local events. Hönö is also a popular spot for sport fishing and other activities on the water.

Donsö: another important island in Gothenburg’s southern archipelago, known for its marina and as a significant part of the local shipping industry. It has a strong community and traditions going back a long way, which makes it an interesting destination for anyone drawn to history.
