Åland Islands

The Åland Islands sit in the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland — an autonomous, demilitarised archipelago of some six thousand islands, skerries, and reefs. Life here moves at the pace of the sea: ferries connect the scattered communities, and summer brings long light that barely fades overnight. The landscape is low granite, pine forest, and open water in almost every direction.

About Åland Islands

Overview

Åland belongs to Finland but governs itself with considerable autonomy; Swedish is the sole official language and the culture leans distinctly Scandinavian. The capital, Mariehamn, is a small harbour town that functions as the administrative and commercial centre of the islands. The euro is the currency. Geographically, the archipelago occupies a strategic position at the mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia.
