Stockholm archipelago, Skerry coast in Stockholm County, Sweden

The Stockholm archipelago encompasses 30,000 islands, islets, and rocks extending 80 kilometers east from Stockholm into the Baltic Sea.

The archipelago began forming during the Viking Age and developed a population of 2,900 inhabitants by 1719, primarily consisting of fishing communities.

The islands maintain traditional Swedish maritime customs through local festivals, music events, and food celebrations that occur throughout the summer months.

Regular ferry services operated by Waxholmsbolaget and Cinderella connect the islands, with boats departing multiple times daily from central Stockholm.

The waters of the archipelago display varying salinity levels, transitioning from fresh water near Stockholm to brackish conditions in the outer sections.
