Stand on the terrace just after sunrise, coffee in hand, and watch a family of deer pick their way across the fairway below. The pond catches the early light. Somewhere behind you, through cedar-clad walls still cool from the Swedish night, a fire is waiting to be lit. This is a Tuesday morning in Örkelljunga—and it feels like a week away from the world. Woodlands Country Club sits in the heart of Skåne, the southernmost county in Sweden, tucked into a landscape that shifts dramatically with the seasons. Spring brings lime-green birch leaves and the thwack of the first golf round of the year. Summer gets genuinely warm here—Skåne sits closer to Copenhagen than Stockholm, and long June evenings stretch past ten o'clock. Come October, the forest turns amber and rust, and the fairways are yours almost alone. There is something quietly special about this corner of Sweden that visitors from Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK have been discovering for years. Örkelljunga itself is a small town with real character: a bakery on Storgatan that opens at seven, a Thursday market in summer, and a pace of life that makes you realize you've been moving too fast. The house at plot 44 was designed by Henning Larsen Architects—a Copenhagen-based firm with a genuine international reputation, not a name dropped casually. The building sits elevated on pillars, its footprint following the slope of the land rather than flattening it. That decision, which might sound technical, means the forest floor runs uninterrupted beneath and around the structure. You don't arrive at the house so much as into it, the cedar facade having weathered to a silver-grey tone that reads almost like bark from a distance. Built in 2008 and maintained in excellen ... click here to read more

Stand in the kitchen on a September morning and count the apples on the Sörmlandsäpple tree through the window. They're nearly ready. The smell of woodsmoke drifts in from the whitewashed fireplace in the next room, and somewhere down the gravel path, Nyckelsjön is perfectly still. This is Tjärtorp — a two-bedroom timber house in the village of Ullevi, just outside Gnesta in Södermanland — and it has the kind of quiet intensity that makes people stop looking at other properties. The house is red-painted timber, classic Falun red, the colour that has marked Swedish rural buildings for centuries. Up close, the facade details reward attention — the kind of craftsmanship that doesn't come from a catalogue. Inside, the ceiling height surprises you. Wide wooden floors carry the patina of generations, the timber walls hold warmth even before the fire is lit, and exposed beams overhead remind you that this building was made to last. The large whitewashed fireplace anchors the main living space. It isn't decorative. On a dark November evening, it is the whole room. The renovation work done here is worth understanding properly, because it separates Tjärtorp from the majority of Swedish country homes on the market. The walls and woodwork are finished in linseed oil paint — breathable, traditional, and far kinder to old timber than modern synthetic alternatives. The wallpapers are from Lim & Handtryck, printed from historical originals dating to the 18th and 19th centuries. These are considered collector's items in some circles, and they're on your walls. At the same time, the house has been fully rewired, replumbed, reinsulated, and connected to fibre internet. A new roof is scheduled for 2025 to 2026. The windows were restored b ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning, coffee in hand, and the Baltic is already glittering below you. Seabirds circle above the rocky shoreline. The smell of warm pine from the sauna building still lingers from last night. This is Väbynäsvägen 15 — a two-bedroom summer cottage perched on an elevated lot in Väby, just outside Ronneby in the heart of Blekinge, Sweden's most underrated coastal region. The house itself is compact and honest. Built in 1978 and kept in genuinely good shape, the 43 square metres inside are arranged with the kind of practical intelligence that Scandinavian summer homes have always gotten right. Every room earns its place. The living room faces the sea and its large windows pull the view inside, filling the space with reflected light off the water from mid-morning onward. When the afternoon sun swings around, it catches the surface of the bay and the whole room shifts. You don't stop noticing it. The kitchen works. Nothing fancy, but it handles what a summer household needs — big family breakfasts, late dinners after a day out on the water, quick lunches before heading back down to the jetty. Two bedrooms are quiet and well-proportioned. One bathroom. The layout keeps things simple, which is exactly the point when you're spending most of your time outdoors anyway. And the outdoors here is the real argument for this property. The 1,092-square-metre lot is generous by any standard, terraced into the hillside with several distinct seating areas — one catches the morning sun, another faces west for the long Swedish summer evenings that don't end until past ten. Mature trees give shade without blocking the water view. The garden is tidy, planted with a mix of lawn and flowering shrubs that take care of t ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's six in the morning, the mist is still sitting on Lake Vänern, and you're standing on a west-facing terrace with a cup of coffee watching the water turn gold. No traffic noise. Just birdsong, the occasional creak of a wooden dock somewhere below, and the kind of quiet that takes a few days to fully sink into. That's what mornings feel like at Mellåsen 5. This is a proper Swedish countryside retreat — 75 square metres of well-kept living space on an elevated, private plot in Mellåsen, a small community just outside the town of Mariestad on the eastern shore of Lake Vänern. Sweden's largest lake, and Europe's third largest, Vänern isn't just a view — it's the reason people come to this part of Västergötland and keep coming back. The house itself is two bedrooms, one bathroom, and it's been cared for in a way that shows. The current owners have lived in it, not just visited it. The kitchen has a proper setup — stove, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, good storage — and it opens directly into a dining area where the west-facing window gives you an uninterrupted view of the water. On a clear July evening, when the sun doesn't set until nearly eleven, that window is the best seat in the house. The dining area flows out through the conservatory and onto the main terrace, so summer meals have a way of drifting outside without anyone consciously deciding to move. That 23-square-metre glazed conservatory is one of the property's most practical features, and it's genuinely useful beyond the summer months. Infrared heating panels extend comfortable use well into October, maybe November if you're not too precious about a sweater. Fully opening sliding doors mean it can be thrown open entirely in warm weather, and two a ... click here to read more

Wake up in the sleeping loft on a July morning and the east-facing gable window does the work for you — soft Scandinavian light spilling over wooden floors before the rest of the house stirs. Down in the kitchen, the old double door is already thrown open to the garden, and the smell of apple blossom drifts in from trees that have been growing here longer than most people can remember. This is Komstad, a quiet hamlet in the Österlen countryside of southeast Skåne, and life here moves at a pace that most of Europe has forgotten how to do. The cottage dates to the 1870s and wears its age well. Someone has taken genuine care with it — not the kind of renovation that strips a place of everything interesting, but the kind that keeps the open-beamed ceiling in the living room and the original soul of the layout while quietly upgrading what matters. There's underfloor practicality in the fully tiled bathroom, a shower behind a clean glass wall, and a washing machine tucked in beside it. The kitchen has integrated appliances, a dishwasher, an island that becomes the natural gathering point when friends arrive, and a wood-burning stove that earns its keep from October through to March. The Bang & Olufsen sound system wired into the living room is the one small luxury that doesn't apologize for itself — good music through good speakers, while the fireplace crackles and rain patters against the southwest-facing deck outside. That deck deserves its own mention. Glass doors open directly from the renovated west gable onto a broad wooden terrace that catches the afternoon and evening sun until the last possible moment. A pergola draped in white climbing roses frames the view over open agricultural fields — flat, wide Skåne landscape ... click here to read more

Step outside on a still Tuesday morning in late September and the air smells of damp grass and Swedish pine. A horse shifts in its stable forty meters away. The fields roll out in every direction, gold and grey-green, the kind of quiet that city people drive three hours to find—and here it's simply the default setting. This is Slimminge 189, a five-bedroom country home on 1.6 hectares of south Swedish farmland outside Skurup, and it is genuinely unlike most things on the market in Skåne right now. The house itself was built in 1909, and you can feel that in the bones of it—solid, unhurried, built with the assumption that it would outlast everyone who ever lived in it. But nobody is asking you to live with 1909 kitchen fittings. The kitchen has been renovated properly, not just resurfaced: real storage, real counter space, modern appliances that actually function. On Sunday evenings this kitchen earns its keep. The layout opens toward the dining area, so whoever is cooking isn't banished from the conversation. Big windows pull the countryside inside, and in winter the low Scandinavian light makes the whole room glow in a way that is almost theatrical. One hundred and seventy-five square meters across two floors gives the family room to breathe. Five bedrooms means you can host parents and kids and still have a room for the person who can't share a bathroom with anyone else. Two fully tiled bathrooms keep the morning routine from becoming a crisis. There's also a 62-square-meter secondary area—call it what you like: a workshop, a tack room overflow, a creative studio, a mudroom that actually handles the mud. Rural living generates clutter, and this building swallows it. The courtyard is where the property reveals itself ... click here to read more

On a clear July morning at Solfältsvägen 2, the first thing you hear is water. Not traffic, not neighbors — water, and the occasional low horn of an Åland ferry carving its way through the Stockholm archipelago somewhere out beyond the treeline. You're sitting on a wide timber deck with coffee going cold in your hand because you keep getting distracted. That's Dyvik. It does that to people. This single-story country home sits on a genuinely generous 2,730-square-meter plot in Dyvik, within Österåkers kommun — one of the few remaining pockets of the Stockholm archipelago where you can still find a freehold property at a price that doesn't require a second mortgage on your first home. The house itself is compact at 25 square meters of living space, but the way it's been used is clever. A hallway that doubles as a sleeping nook, an open-plan kitchen and living room that draws light from multiple windows, and a ceiling that runs all the way up to the roof ridge — making the interior feel considerably larger than the floor plan suggests. The fireplace insert is the kind of feature that earns its keep in early September, when the Swedish archipelago does that particular trick of dropping ten degrees between lunchtime and sundown. Light it at six, and by the time dinner's ready the whole room has that amber, wood-smoke warmth that's basically impossible to replicate any other way. The kitchen runs alongside it — fridge, freezer, dishwasher, gas stove — plus a wood-burning stove that sits in the corner and makes the whole cooking experience feel like something out of a Carl Larsson painting, but without the inconvenience of living in one. Outside is where this property really opens up. The deck is large enough to hold a full ... click here to read more

Early July on Gränsö, and the morning light hits the water at an angle that makes the whole inlet look like it's been lit from below. You're standing on the front terrace with a coffee, the smell of pine resin drifting in from the trees behind the house, a pair of eider ducks cutting low across the channel. The only sound is wind. This is what you bought it for. Gränsö 44 is a complete Swedish archipelago holding — main house, guest cottage, outbuilding, boathouse, and a private jetty with servitude rights — sitting on just over 1,000 square metres of natural island land near Arkösund on the Vikbolandet peninsula. The main house went up in 2008, which means it was built with proper insulation and modern systems rather than cobbled together over generations like many island properties. Eighty-one square metres doesn't sound like much on paper, but the open-plan kitchen and living room layout makes the space feel generous, and the large windows along the front pull the outside in so consistently that the terrace feels like a fifth room. That terrace is south-facing and wide enough to actually do something on. Not a narrow ledge — a real outdoor living space, long enough for a table that seats eight, with partial water views through the trees. The glass door from the living room means summer evenings blur naturally between inside and out, the wood-burning stove providing the threshold between seasons when September rolls in and the air sharpens. Three bedrooms sleep the family comfortably, the guest cottage tacks on another four or five sleeping places for when friends inevitably want to come, and the small outbuilding handles storage and a composting separett toilet that keeps the main bathroom free during a full house. ... click here to read more

The smell hits you first. Salt air and sun-warmed pine needles, drifting through the kitchen window at eight in the morning while the coffee percolates and your kids are already somewhere in the garden, bare feet on grass. That's Sandslättsvägen 2 on a Tuesday in July. Nothing dramatic. Just the particular quiet that only comes when you're 600 meters from one of Sweden's finest stretches of coastline and you have nowhere urgent to be. Haverdal is not a place that tries too hard. It sits along the Halland coast between Halmstad and Mellbystrand, a low-key community of summer houses, cycling families, and people who have been coming back to this same beach every August for thirty years. The four-kilometer sandy shore here is the kind you walk at dusk when the crowds have thinned and the light goes sideways and golden across the dunes. Swimming, paddleboarding, building fires in designated spots on the sand — the rhythm of summer on this stretch of coast has barely changed in decades, and honestly that's the whole point. The cottage at Sandslättsvägen 2 was built in 1969 and it wears its era well. Fifty-five square meters of thoughtful, practical layout — a bright living room with windows that frame the garden like a painting, a functional kitchen set up exactly right for long summer dinners, and a bedroom that stays cool even on the warmest Halland afternoons. There's an additional ten square meters of auxiliary space, and a separate friggebod guest cabin sits in the garden, which means visiting family or friends get their own breathing room. It's the feature that turns a weekend visit into a proper stay. The lot is the other thing people notice. At 1,222 square meters, it's substantial for this area — a mature, private ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Tuesday morning in late August and the fields at Söderhenninge are gold-green and dead quiet, except for the crows working the far edge of the meadow and the faint clatter of a tractor somewhere over the ridge toward Edsbro. That's the sound of this place. Not silence exactly, but the particular hush of countryside that hasn't been touched up for anyone. This is a genuine Swedish farmstead — two residential houses, a cluster of solid outbuildings, and 6.3 hectares of mostly arable land sitting in Norrtälje municipality, about 90 minutes north of Stockholm by car. It's the kind of property that people in the city talk about wanting for years and rarely find at a price that makes actual sense. At 450,000 SEK for the full estate, the numbers are hard to argue with. The main house was built in 1936 and covers 99 square meters, with four rooms arranged in the unhurried way that rural Swedish builders favored — a real kitchen with room to cook properly, a living room that gets afternoon light, and bedrooms that feel like bedrooms rather than closets with aspirations. The windows are large, which matters here because what you're looking at through them changes week by week: snow-dusted fields in January, wildflowers pushing up along the fence lines in May, the low copper light of a Swedish autumn stretching across the paddocks in October. There's an additional 50 square meters of secondary living space in the main structure too, which gives you genuine flexibility for a home office, a mudroom setup, or just extra storage without crowding the main living areas. The second residential building is a real asset that most comparable properties don't offer. It functions independently, which means extended family ... click here to read more

Main house and outbuildings, Söderhenninge 5 och 3

On a still February morning at Matsbo 7, the only sounds are the creak of snow settling on the roof and, somewhere below the garden, the Ljusnan river threading quietly through the valley. You pull on your boots, step outside into minus-eight air that bites your cheeks in the best possible way, and you're at the trailhead in four minutes flat. This is Bruksvallarna — and once you've spent a winter here, you'll understand why Swedes return year after year with the kind of quiet loyalty that doesn't need explaining. Matsbo 7 sits on a 2,296 square metre plot on a calm residential street in the centre of the village. It's not a remote cabin requiring a four-wheel drive and three hours of mountain road — it's genuinely walkable to the ICA Stigmyrs grocery store, the village brasserie, a weaving studio, and the local hotel. That proximity matters more than it sounds. On a dark January afternoon when the temperature drops hard, being able to grab provisions on foot rather than scraping ice off a car is its own small luxury. The property is built in two connected sections, each with its own entrance, and this dual layout is the detail that makes it genuinely interesting for buyers. The newer wing, comprehensively updated in 2015, has the kind of open-plan arrangement that works for large family gatherings — a wide living room, a white kitchen with real storage space, a dining area that seats a crowd, and a bathroom with contemporary fittings. Two bunk beds and a double mean six people sleep here comfortably without anyone feeling crammed. The older section is a different mood entirely. Panel-clad walls, a proper open fireplace, and a sitting room that feels like it was built for long evenings with aquavit and card games. One ... click here to read more

The smell hits you first — cut grass warming in the late afternoon sun, woodsmoke drifting from somewhere across the fields, and the faint sweetness of the apple trees that line the far edge of the yard. Then you notice how quiet it actually is. Not the uncomfortable quiet of isolation, but the deep, settled quiet of a place that has been at peace with itself for over a hundred years. That's Fågelsta Stormbacken. A 1910 red-painted farmstead on the outer edge of Julita, Katrineholms kommun, sitting on 1.3 hectares of Swedish countryside with the kind of bones that modern houses simply can't replicate. The main house runs to 160 square metres across seven rooms, and it carries its age well. Wide wooden floors creak in exactly the right places. Original period doors still swing on their hinges. Three traditional tiled stoves — kakelugnar — stand in the sitting rooms and do what they've always done: turn a cold November evening into something you don't want to leave. The ceilings are high enough that the rooms never feel crowded even when the family descends in full. Large windows face the courtyard and the open fields beyond, pulling in light from morning through to the long Swedish summer evenings when dusk doesn't fall until nearly eleven o'clock. The kitchen is the heart of the place, as it should be. Country-style cabinetry, a serious amount of worktop space, and updated appliances sit alongside the original character of the room without any sense of awkward compromise. The dining area flows directly off it, which matters enormously when you're hosting — plates passing between rooms, conversation spilling between spaces. This is a kitchen designed for proper cooking, not just reheating. Think slow-braised elk from t ... click here to read more

Step off the gravel path at Gudbyvägen 36 on a June morning and what hits you first is the quiet. Not the absence of sound exactly — there's a woodpecker somewhere behind the tree line, and a neighbor's dog doing its rounds — but the kind of quiet that makes Stockholm feel like a different world, even though you're only 25 minutes up the E4. This is Gudby. A pocket of Upplands Väsby where the houses have proper gardens, where the roads still have names that predate the suburbs, and where 2,662 square meters of your own land means you can walk barefoot across your own grass without seeing a fence for a good while. The 1955 cottage sitting on that plot is small — 20 square meters of honest simplicity — but the land it stands on is where the real story lives. The cottage itself is functional and in good condition. One room, one bathroom, the basics done right. It's not trying to be anything it isn't, which is part of what makes it work so well as a summer retreat or a base while you figure out what comes next. And what comes next is the interesting part. Municipal water and sewage are already connected at the property boundary — costs already covered by the current owners — which removes one of the more tedious hurdles for anyone thinking about development. The plot is potentially divisible too, a detail that opens up a range of possibilities depending on what direction you want to take this. Many neighbors along Gudbyvägen have already done exactly that. Started with an older summer cottage, renovated or built alongside it, and ended up with a year-round home on a generous piece of land that would cost multiples to replicate closer to the city. That trajectory is visible in the streetscape here — you see the mix of orig ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning at Örviks byväg 18 and the air carries something particular — a mix of pine resin, cut grass, and the faint salt tang drifting in from the Baltic just 1.7 kilometres away. The southwest sun is already hitting the glazed conservatory. Coffee in hand, you watch a pair of cranes pick their way across the meadow. This is Roslagen in its quietest, most honest form. Not a postcard. The real thing. Herräng sits roughly 100 kilometres north of Stockholm along the Uppland coast, tucked into the northern reaches of the Roslagen archipelago — a region Swedes have been quietly keeping to themselves for generations. This particular property sits about 4 kilometres south of Herräng village proper, on a lane where the neighbours are mostly birch trees and the occasional tractor. The address, Örviks byväg 18, places you on the edge of the Örvikssjön lake, roughly 350 metres from the water's edge. On still evenings you can hear the lake. On windy ones, you can hear the sea. The main house is a 1.5-storey building measuring 130 square metres, in good condition and ready to move into without a renovation project hanging over your first summer. Ground floor has a proper layout for a family: a hallway that opens naturally into a generous living room, a kitchen that works, a bedroom, and a laundry room with WC. Upstairs, two more bedrooms and a bathroom share the space with a family room and, critically, a balcony with partial views over Örvikssjön. That balcony matters more than it sounds on paper — sitting up there as the light shifts over the water at 9pm in June, with the sky still pale gold, is one of those Swedish summer moments that makes people buy property in this country and never fully leave. The g ... click here to read more

Step outside on a January morning and the world is completely white and completely silent. The ski tracks cut through the snow maybe three hundred meters from the front door. You clip into your skis on the porch, push off, and within minutes you're gliding through birch forest with no one else in sight. That's a Tuesday here at Hagströmsvallen 105. This two-bedroom country home sits on a generous 3,500-square-meter lot on the slopes above Bruksvallarna in Härjedalen, one of Sweden's most celebrated mountain regions. At 61 square meters, the house is compact and honest—every square meter works. The open-plan living and kitchen area anchors the interior, with a wood-burning fireplace that earns its place on a cold March evening when the temperature outside drops to minus fifteen and the snow is still falling. Both bedrooms are quiet. The bathroom has a washing machine, which matters more than people think when you're spending a full week. And then there's the sauna, with its own small relaxation room—not a luxury addition but a genuine necessity up here, the place you end up after a long day on the trails with aching legs and cold feet. Outside, the lot is substantial. Mountain birches frame the property. In summer, the neighboring field fills with grazing cattle, and if you leave the kitchen window open you hear the bells. There's an outbuilding for storage, a woodshed stocked for winter, and a störrös—a traditional small cabin with an open hearth—that speaks directly to the older rhythms of this mountain landscape. Fäbodvallen culture, where highland summer farms dotted these slopes for centuries, left its mark on the architecture and atmosphere of this whole valley, and you feel it here. The Nordic ski tracks groomed ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Tuesday morning in early July, coffee in hand, and the Baltic is right there — glinting through the pine trunks, less than fifty meters from your front door. The air smells of salt and warm resin. A boat is heading out from the marina. Yours is tied up in your own private berth, waiting. This is what a morning at Havsvägen 32 looks like. Furuvik sits on a slender tongue of land along the Gävle coast, about 12 kilometers south of Gävle city center — far enough that the summer crowds haven't taken over, close enough that you're never truly cut off. It's the kind of spot that Swedes pass down through families rather than advertise. A quiet residential road, a handful of houses, and then the sea. Havsvägen is exactly what the name says: the sea road. The property itself occupies a remarkable 3,786 square meters of coastal land. That's not a typo. On this stretch of the Swedish coast, a plot this size with direct water proximity doesn't surface often. The main holiday house dates from 1950, built in the solid, unpretentious style of Swedish sommarstugor from that era — roughly 79 square meters across five rooms, sitting back from the lane with mature trees wrapping around it on three sides. It's in good condition, functional, and completely livable right now. But the real story here is what the land makes possible. Several smaller guest cottages dot the lot, handy for the extended family visits that inevitably happen the moment you own a place like this. Cousins from Gothenburg, friends from abroad — Swedish summer hospitality runs deep, and having a spare cabin means you never have to choose between hosting and having your own space. The whole compound has a slightly rambling, unhurried quality that feel ... click here to read more

Six o'clock on a July morning. You slide open the terrace door and the air hits you—cool, pine-scented, with that particular stillness that only comes from being a few steps from open water. Lake Mälaren stretches out in front of you, flat and silver, and somewhere down the path you can already hear the first swimmers of the day. That is the daily reality of waking up at Braxvägen 28 on Märsön island. This is a 55-square-metre holiday home on a 1,489-square-metre plot that punches well above its size. Built in 1972 and kept in genuinely good condition across the decades, it sits at an elevated position on the island's southern face—which means both the sun and the lake are almost always in your line of sight. The orientation is not an accident. Whoever chose this spot knew what they were doing. Inside, the living room is the centre of gravity. It's a proper gathering space, not a cramped afterthought, and it flows directly into a conservatory that acts as a kind of weather-proof buffer between indoors and the lake terrace beyond. On cooler evenings—and Swedish September evenings can be genuinely chilly—the wood-burning stove earns its place fast. The crackle of birch logs, a glass of something warm, the last of the light on the water. You'll understand quickly why Swedes take their fritidshus so seriously. The kitchen is compact but fully equipped: stove, fridge-freezer, and just enough room for a small table by the window where breakfast becomes a slow, deliberate event rather than a rushed ritual. Light walls and considered wallpaper keep the interiors feeling open despite the modest footprint. One bedroom, one bathroom with a shower and composting toilet—simple, functional, and exactly right for two people who came ... click here to read more

Main house and terrace with lake view

Picture this: you cut the engine, the boat drifts the last few meters to the jetty, and the only sound left is water slapping softly against the granite. No neighbors. No traffic. Just the smell of sun-warmed pine resin and the faint call of a common tern somewhere out over Skrävlafjärden. The entire island is yours. Every rock, every handful of sand, every inch of shoreline — yours. This is what owning a private island in the Stockholm archipelago actually feels like. Not a fantasy. A real, registered, freehold property sitting on 1,825 square meters of your own land surrounded by the water of Värmdö's inner archipelago, roughly 35 kilometers east of Stockholm's city center. The island itself does a lot of the heavy lifting. Sandy beaches to the north and south — proper sand, not the pebbly disappointment you get elsewhere — give way to wide slabs of smooth granite that hold the afternoon sun long after five o'clock. Swedish summers are short and fiercely lived, and this island is set up for exactly that: the west-facing jetty deck is big enough for a proper outdoor dining table, a couple of sun loungers, and still leaves room to move. Sunsets here hit the water directly. Every evening in June and July, when the sky goes amber and the reflections stretch across the fjord, you'll understand why people pay any price for this view. Getting here is easier than it sounds. Evlinge on the mainland is the departure point — a short, uncomplicated boat trip even if you're new to navigating these waters. Multiple jetties wrap around the island, so docking is never a scramble regardless of wind direction. Day trippers and experienced sailors have both managed it first try. Stockholm's Slussen takes around 40 minutes by car to re ... click here to read more
