The Åland Islands, an archipelago of over 6,700 islands (60 of which are inhabited), are located halfway between Stockholm and Helsinki, in the Northern Baltic Sea. Once home to the Vikings, it came under Swedish rule in the 1100s and then under Russian rule when it was conquered in 1809. In 1921, the Åland Islands were placed under Finish sovereignty and today, they are an autonomous, self-governing and demilitarized territory of Finland. The islands are the smallest region in Finland and the only region where the only official language is Swedish.
The population of the Åland Islands is approximately 29,000 people (2018 estimate). The population is diverse, with approximately one-third of the population being born outside of the Åland Islands (from 92 different countries). The main industries of the Åland Islands are shipping, trade, banking, farming, and food production. The unemployment rate is very low at only 3.9% in 2017.
The islands are easily accessed by ferry or by air. Travel around and between the many islands can be done by car, bicycle, ferry, bus, rental car or taxi. The Åland Islands are a geographically small archipelago so most places are easily accessible; a lot can be explored in a short time.
There are 53 nature reserves on the Åland Islands, although not all can be visited. Camping and disturbing/removing the flora and fauna in the reserves is prohibited. The landscape of the islands is diverse with red granite cliffs, forests, meadows, lakes, and unique flora and fauna. The islands also have many public beaches.
With a mild climate, the greatest number of sunshine hours in the Nordic region, diverse flora and fauna, and a myriad of outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, golfing, paddling, cycling, climbing, camping and skating (in the winter), the Åland Islands beckon the nature-loving traveller.
