It is a home to flora and fauna you won't find elsewhere
Summer is short but excellent season to explore Sweden. If you're looking for ways to fill the long Swedish summer holiday, here is a perfect destination worthy of a visit. Landsort, a town on the island of Öja home to only around 20-30 permanent residents, but in summer it springs to life. It is the most southerly outpost of the Stockholm Archipelago. Landsort island is 5 km long and 0.5 km wide. It's most famous for its lighthouse, Landsorts fyr, built in the 1670s and today Sweden´s oldest preserved lighthouse. It is surprisingly simple to reach, you need to take a bus and a ferry from Nynashamn, a charming town you can get to on Stockholm's commuter train.
Landsort is a home to flora and fauna you won't find elsewhere, as well as the lighthouse that gives the island name. Landsort is also a popular place for bird watching. Here you´ll find barren rocky areas and verdant vegetation, including whitebeam, yew and arctic bramble. All of these make this picturesque village a must-see when in Stockholm.
