"Beautiful archipel nearby Göteborg" Vrångö by djepie

A tram tour (nr.11) of about 45 minutes from the city centre (Brunnspark / Central Station) of Göteborg brings you to the Saltholmen harbour. The normal bus/tram ticket can also be used on the boat for just a few euros. When having a Göteborg pass, it's free. You can even buy a ticket by sms. I took a trip to the most departed island, Vrangö, a 45 minutes trip.

This trip can be made on an evening. I left the city centre at 18:30 by tram, took the ferry at 19:30, spend one hour and a half at the island (no restaurants or cafes open!), took the boat of 21:41, the tram of 22:43 and was back in the city centre around 23:30.

Lotsutiken

A nice island, the most far away from Göteborg / Saltholmen.
Near the harbour there is a restaurant, but it was closed during my visit in the evening of 3 June 2008. All wooden houses, painted in different colors, a nice Lotsutkiken, on the top of a steep hill.

Quiet little harbour

Small wooden fishermen's boats in a small harbour, about 15 minutes walk from the harbour where the ferry drops you off.
