Just as there are several ways to get to the Scandinavian Islands, there are several ways to get around the region. You can choose to take an airplane, a ferry or go by bus, car or bike. It all depends on how you wish to travel and what you would like to see. A combination of transportation is a great idea and a necessary solution at times since we are talking about moving around in a beautiful archipelago.

Transports in the Turku Archipelago

To Åland by air
Your flight is via Helsinki, Turku or Stockholm. It takes just half an hour from Stockholm/Arlanda with Air Åland and less than an hour from Helsinki/Vanda or Turku in Finland. The journey by car from the airport to the central town of Mariehamn only takes five minutes.

By ferrie to Åland
The journey to Åland is half the experience. The Åland Islands are situated in the heart of Scandinavia, midway between Stockholm and Helsinki. Most people find the boat trip impressive. You can see Sweden's, Finland's and Åland's archipelagos on the way.

The shortest route from Sweden leaves from Grisslehamn or Kapellskär outside Norrtälje and takes two hours. Buses leave from Cityterminalen in Stockholm to Grisslehamn and Kapellskär. From Stockholm there are several route variations. From Finland you can either travel on the smaller archipelago ferries or on the ferries from Turku and Helsinki.

Transports in the Stockholm Archipelago.

Travel with the scheduled boat ferries, use your own boat or book a charter boat which will take you wherever you want to go. There are plenty taxi boats and courier boats to and from the islands to the harbours on the mainland that run all year round once the sea isn't frozen. If the sea is frozen, you can often book small and fast hovercraft that will give you an unforgettable experience.
