Overview
Stretching off Gothenburg's coast, the archipelago of dozens of islands is a west-coast jewel of granite outcrops and fishing villages. On islands like Styrsö and Brännö you can enjoy boat tours, kayaking, and swimming, and each island has restaurants serving fresh shrimp, oysters, and other seafood. Many islands are car-free, perfect for cycling or walking, and seafood bought directly from local fishermen is unbeatably fresh.
