"Discover the Beauty of the Coast The sea has always played a big part in the lives of the people of Gothenburg. When you want to relax from city life this is where you go. A tram ticket will take you all the way out into the southern archipelago to enjoy the harsh beauty of the gray granite cliffs. Pack your swim gear and a book and head to an island such as Vrångö, Brännö, Styrsö, or Vargö. Take a walk to find your own private cliff or bay and then dive into the sea. It might be cold, but the cliffs are perfect for warming up against with their smooth, round shapes and ability to keep the heat from the sun. For a Swede, the combination of sea, cliffs, and solitude is bliss. Hungry? Bring a picnic or visit a restaurant like Brännö Värdshus or Vrångö Värdshus."

Absolutely stunning in a sunny weather :) can get with a ferry from the city and enjoy 1-2 hour walk through cute village, yacht ports, small cliffs and hills. Also don't worry about the food - has tiny grocery stores and some cafes around.

Contains many islands divided into northern and southern islands. Most of the southern Islands can be visited if you have Zone A pass of Vastraffik. Some of the well known Islands are Styrsö, Vrango, Höno, Donso etc.

Der Göteborg Schärengarten ist ein wahres Juwel der Natur, das sich durch seine atemberaubende Schönheit und idyllische Atmosphäre auszeichnet. Mit seinen malerischen Leuchttürmen, die majestätisch über dem Wasser thronen, bietet er eine perfekte Kulisse für entspannte und ruhige Stunden. Hier kann man die Seele baumeln lassen und die unvergleichliche Ruhe genießen, die diese einzigartige Inselwelt ausstrahlt. Ein Besuch im Göteborg Schärengarten ist eine Einladung zum Entspannen und Genießen, fernab vom Trubel des Alltags.👍🇸🇪

Jag har besökt Göteborgs skärgård väldigt många gånger och jag är mycket mycket nöjd med Göteborgs skärgård. Väldigt fina, rena, säkra och välorganiserade öar. Det som är extra bra är att det finns mataffär på öarna så att man kan handla mat där ifall om man bor på dessa öar. Bra att det finns skolor på öarna så att ifall om elever bor på öarna de kan gå skolan där. Trevlig personal. Jag vill gärna besöka Göteborgs skärgård igen och jag rekommenderar Göteborgs skärgård till andra.

Una visita da non perdere assolutamente. Si parte dal porto di Saltholmen, noi abbiamo chiesto informazioni presso la biglietteria, dove una signora gentilissima ci ha fatto questo itinerario. Prima isola quella più a sud Vrango, dove dopo una bella passeggiata tra le caratteristiche casette svedesi siamo arrivati al porto dei pescatori. Qui abbiamo mangiato molto molto bene. Ripartiti siamo scesi a Donso. Anche qui abbiamo camminato fino ad arrivare a Styrso, un altra isola collegata da un ponte, una passeggiata di circa 3 Km. Quindi al punto di partenza, dove già vi attende il tram.
