Where is Arholma?

Arholma is located just over 25 km north-east of Norrtälje and is the last archipelago island before the Sea of Åland. Surrounded by nature reserves, the island offers sweeping views and a unique archipelago nature.

Accessibility

Arholma is accessible all year round by Waxholmsbolaget from Stockholm or by pass boat from Simpnäs on Björkö/Södra Väddö. Please note that the pier is not accessible and that traffic can be affected by ice conditions during the winter.

On-site services

Arholma has guest harbours, guest houses, restaurants and a shop with limited opening hours. Public toilets are available at the guest harbours. There is a marked campsite with a rubbish dump and bicycle hire near the jetty.

History of the programme

Arholma has a long history from shipping and defence to today's tourism. Arholma Båk from 1768 is one of Roslagen's most famous sea marks, and during the Cold War, Batteri Arholma was built - today an underground museum.
