Sweden’s largest island, Gotland lies in the heart of the Baltic Sea with the mainland to the west and Latvia to the east.
With the most hours of annual sunshine in Sweden alongside a rich history and beautiful surroundings, Gotland has long been a popular destination in Scandinavia.
Characterised by myriad church ruins and impressive fortress walls, the medieval town of Visby is the island’s hub, whilst the coastline is blessed with stunning sandy beaches. So whatever the season, Gotland has something to suit.
The island is well connected with the Swedish mainland by ferry, with a couple of frequent routes departing from the port of Visby. Gotland is also a useful departure point for the Swedish capital, as the arrival port of Nynashamn lies just 58 kilometres south of Stockholm.
Aland Islands (or Åland) are a Swedish speaking autonomous region in Finland located in the heart of Scandinavia between the cities of Stockholm and Helsinki in the Baltic Sea.
With some 6700 islands, Aland boasts an exciting mix of Swedish, Finnish and Russian culture. Around 90% of the population resides on the main island or ‘Fasta Åland’ as it known locally. The main city is Mariehamn, while other small communities on the main island include Godby and Eckerö.
Whilst you can fly to Aland from Finland and Sweden, many visitors prefer to travel by ferry as it allows you to take in the awesome views of Sweden’s, Finland’s and Aland’s archipelagos. The ferries used on these crossings are among the most luxurious in operation so the journey is actually more like a cruise than a means of transportation from A to B.
