A car-free island world 30 minutes from the city by ferry — the islands of Vrångö, Styrsö, and Brännö are all car-free and served by the city's public transit boats. The hiking, kayaking, and cliff swimming here is among the best in Sweden, and the summer atmosphere on these islands is utterly different from the city.
