Vätö

In the northern Stockholm area you'll find Vätö, an island that belongs to Norrtälje municipality in the landscape of Uppland.

Vätö is a typical example of the beautiful nature in Roslagen, the archipelago area North-East of Stockholm. This area is considered to be of great historical value, with many old buildings. Crofts (small old cottages) and farms dating back to the 19:th century are nicely situated in a landscape full of fields, pastures and woodland. Many of the older habitations were built to accommodate the labor of the Vätö Quarry. This is no longer in working order, but the site is still intact and well worth a visit.

The northern part of the island has got a different character, with summer cottages rather than year-round population. In the middle of the island you'll find the central village Harg. Here you can take buses to Norrtälje and also shop groceries in the convenience store Tempo (open daily).

Pay a visit to Linneas lada, Vätö Självplock and the farm shop Franssons Gård på Vätö

In Nysättra situated just before the bridge over to Vätö there is a Thaikiosk Taki's Thai kitchen and also Oishi Sushi och Wok

With the 13 000 islands of the Roslagen archipelago in mind, this is the perfect starting point for boat trips, whether you have a boat of your own or if you rent one. There are many attractions in Roslagen: museums, churches, castles, manors, galleries, craft stores as well as farm stores.

For more information, please have a look at Visit Roslagen.
