#falladventures The country with the most islands in the world is Sweden: it officially has 267,570 islands, of which fewer than a thousand are inhabited. The most famous is the Stockholm Archipelago, which consists of almost 30,000 islands, islets, and rocky skerries. The city of Stockholm itself spreads across 14 islands. Today we enjoyed a wonderful boat ride and visited one of the most popular islands – Vaxholm, which is considered the gateway to the Stockholm Archipelago. It’s famous for its well-preserved wooden houses from the early 20th century. You’ll often hear it called the “capital of the archipelago.” Back in the 1500s, King Gustav Vasa established defenses here to protect the approach to Stockholm’s bay. The fortress that was built nearby still stands close to the town and is now a popular tourist attraction. It looks absolutely magical!
