The Archipelago Trail, scenic archipelago road in Finland Proper, Finland

The Archipelago Trail is a scenic road through the island world off Finland's southwestern coast. The route connects numerous islands by bridges and ferries, passing through villages, forests, and alongside water on its journey.

The route developed to connect scattered island communities and improve access to their homes. Over time it became a popular way for travelers to experience the natural beauty of this coastal region.

The best time to drive is from May to September when the weather is mild and ferries run regularly. Plan extra time for exploring the islands and note that some stretches require slower driving.

The route crosses a distinctive water landscape where over a hundred islands dot the sea. Some ferries are free and form part of the road network, making the shift between driving and ferrying almost seamless.
