There is no airport train. The southern archipelago is car free and reached on a normal Vasttrafik ticket from Saltholmen. Feskekorka, the fish market hall, is the honest place to eat shellfish.

Community advice, kept separate from official sources. Take the tram to the islands Tram 11 to Saltholmen and a ferry to Styrso or Vrango gets you into the car-free archipelago for the price of a city ticket. Go early, the last boats back are earlier than you expect. Tour operator Sara Bengtsson ## Frequently asked questions Yes, especially for seafood, the car-free southern archipelago and a more relaxed pace than Stockholm. Tram 11 to Saltholmen then a Styrso ferry. Both are covered by the same Vasttrafik ticket. About 3 hours 10 minutes on a direct SJ high-speed service. Broadly late April to late September, then again for the Christmas season. Check the calendar as it varies each year.
