The double archipelago of Gothenburg
Gothenburgers are lucky: they live only 1.5 hours away from these beautiful islands. Regular ferries ply the waters between the Swedish coast and the 2 archipelagos. Although they are jointly referred to as the Gothenburg archipelago, each island group has its own characteristics. Choose from dozens of pleasant destinations and enjoy the fresh air.
The northern archipelago
After a short ferry ride from Hisingen to Hönö, Björkö or Ăckerö, the smaller islands are accessible by bridge. With its many hotels, Ăckerö is a good starting point for those who would like to spend several days on the archipelago. Serene Hönö, just south of Ăckerö, is considered to be the prettiest spot in the archipelago. Here you will find only a few guesthouses, pubs and interestingly, a fish museum. To sample local delicacies, visit Hönökakan, a cafĂ© in the port of KlĂ„va. The soft, thin bread that the cafĂ© is named after is freshly baked on the premises.
The southern archipelago
The islands of the southern archipelago can be reached by ferries departing from Saltholmen, which is only a 10-minute tram ride from the centre of Gothenburg. Styrsö features a popular inn, a great base from which to explore the island. To visit several locations in one day, it is best to book an organised boat tour. Transportation is limited on the car-free islands. However, island residents are known for their creative solutions: in the old days, the wives of Köpstadsöâs fishermen would meet their tired spouses in the port with a wheelbarrow so they could wheel them home in time for dinner. KĂ€nsö is completely off-limits to visitors: the islandâs rich flora and fauna can only be admired from the water.
