The Stockholm Archipelago is an unbeatable place to experience both shooting stars and northern lights.

In Stockholm city, streetlights often diminish the experience. But suppose you venture just a little further out, for instance, to one of the many islands in the Stockholm Archipelago. In that case, you’ll have a much better chance of witnessing shooting stars, northern lights, and other celestial phenomena.Away from the city's noise, the conditions are especially favorable – and if you're lucky, you might enjoy spectacular displays across the night sky.
