We took tram # 11 all the way to the end where the ferry terminal is. We chose the longest ferry ride available, about 3 hours. We just relaxed and had coffee & cake while the ferry made it's usual stops while people got on & off. Very beautiful nature.

Whatever island you choose to explore, the southern archipelago is such a beautiful place to spend the day. The ferry there is quick, and gives you a taste of the views of the amazing scenery. The islands are all very quiet, no cars which makes it a great place to walk around, sit and have a coffee and something to... More

unspoiled and fabulous place to visit and relax. no vehicles allowed and some of the smaller islands do not even allow cycles. quiet, pristine and unspoiled

Great view even in cold weather. Tram takes about 30min to get there from city centre and the ferry takes about 45 min one way. I did not have time to get off ferry as I had only 3hrs available. Check the ferry times because there are only few per day. Reading this before going would be useful: http://www.goteborg.com/en/todo/s/EventGuide?searchCategory=1062&sortkey=99 When... More

We've been there last weekend, you can chose from different islands to visit. The great thing is that cars unlike in the northern archipelago are not allowed on the island. The walk is very nice, it'll take you around 30min to cross the whole island. It's windy in this weather so dress well.
