An archipelago paradise just around the corner
Despite being just a short bus and ferry ride away, Gothenburg’s archipelago feels a world away from everyday city life. In a feature for the British newspaper The Guardian, the journalist discovers the unique charm of the northern islands and finds that spectacular natural experiences await around every corner.
“To get here, all it took was a short bus ride out of Sweden’s second city, a brief ferry ride, then a leisurely hike along the new coastal trail that snakes round these islands, using bridges, causeways and ferries to connect. It does not feel like a lot, not for the sensation of being on the far side of the Milky Way in a kayak-shaped flying saucer.”
