Stockholm is a glorious celebration of water, land and sky. The short summer officially begins on solstice day, June 21, and with luck might last the better part of ten weeks. To really explore Stockholm’s unique setting, getting out into the Stockholm Archipelago is a “must”. Dotted with over 20,000 islands, this is one of the finest boat cruising passages in the world. The two very different islands of Björkö and Fjäderholmarna give some idea of the diversity of the archipelago.
