Stockholm Islands Historical Day Tour

Stockholm’s breathtaking archipelago, consisting of over 30,000 islands, lies just a short boat ride from the city center, offering an idyllic setting for a full day of photography and exploration. On this tour, we’ll follow the locals and take a ferry to Vaxholm, a charming town unofficially known as the capital of the archipelago. Once an old fishing village transformed by King Gustav Vasa in the 1500s into a strategic military defense point, Vaxholm boasts historic charm, a picturesque waterfront, and stunning seascape views along the ferry route. Throughout the day, you’ll have abundant opportunities to capture the serene islands, the lively harbor, and the unique character of this Scandinavian coastal landscape, all in a relaxed and immersive atmosphere. A local lunch stop (not included) offers a chance to enjoy views of the citadel and historic fortress while recharging for more photographic adventures.

Guided by a professional photography expert, you’ll receive personalized instruction to enhance your skills and make the most of each scene. You’ll learn to master manual camera settings such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, while exploring creative composition techniques using perspective, lines, and color. The guide will also teach you how to control and harness natural light for dramatic effects and provide practical tips for post-processing your images. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced photographer, this tour ensures that you leave with a collection of stunning photographs, increased confidence in your camera equipment, and the knowledge to continue capturing the beauty of Stockholm’s archipelago on your own.
