The Stockholm archipelago was recently selected by National Geographic as one of the 25 hottest travel destinations for the coming year. These aspects convinced the trade magazine

National Geographic's "The 25 Best Destinations in the World in 2025" list is aimed at travellers looking for something exotic and wanting to stay away from the typical tourist attractions.

New hiking trail through the Archipelago

The Stockholm Archipelago in Sweden comprises around 30,000 islands and skerries. Since October of this year, the Stockholm Archipelago Trail has also been in operation, a 270-kilometre hiking trail that covers 22 islands in 20 stages, connected by 150 kilometres of waterways along the Stockholm Archipelago.North-South ferry line.

This hiking trail offers a unique opportunity to discover the beauty and diversity of the archipelago, as reported by National Geographic. However, the specialist magazine does not recommend the summer months for a visit to the archipelago, but rather late summer and early autumn. At this time, the sun is still warm, but the peace and quiet slowly returns, giving the area a special atmosphere.

In addition to the Stockholm archipelago, other destinations such as Antigua in Guatemala, Kanazawa in Japan, the Suru Valley in India and the Outer Hebrides in Scotland have also been recognised by National Geographic as top destinations selected for the coming year.

On your own keel in the archipelago

Even better off than visitors to the hiking trail are those who arrive on their own keel. They can explore this unique, dreamlike area completely independently. The following articles will help you plan your trip:
