Stockholm Archipelago - Travel

Travel

Visiting the larger islands in the archipelago is easy all year round, but during winter period the routes depend on the ice conditions. Several companies have regular routes. The largest ship owner company is Waxholmsbolaget owned by the Stockholm County government. Taxi boats are also available. In summer the archipelago bristles with private boats filled with people who often take advantage of Allemansrätt (or "everyman's right"), a law which gives anyone the right to go ashore or anchor on any ground not in the direct vicinity of buildings.

Famous quotes containing the word travel:

    I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Those craning birds are choice for you, songs that jump back
    To the built voice, or fly with winter to the bells,
    But do not travel down dumb wind like prodigals.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    We can travel longer, night and day, without losing our spirits than almost any persons we ever met.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
