How to get from Gothenburg Central to the Islands?<\/strong><\/h6>\nThat is an easy one. From the city center take tram 11 towards Saltholmen. It is about a 30-minute ride to Saltholmen! It\u2019s simple and quick and it will actually show you the beautiful scenery of the suburbs of Gothenburg. You scan your ticket once you get inside the tram, but on the whole journey we did not get checked once. Please see below the map of the tram routes and stations in Gothenburg. In the bottom left corner you see the route of tram 11 and it\u2019s final destination in the town of Saltholmen.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/theroadtripguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/gothenburg-public-transportation-system-02-728x1024.jpg\")

Visiting Br\u00e4nn\u00f6<\/strong><\/h6>\nWe had planned to visit the top two islands first so we went on the ferry going straight too larger island Br\u00e4nn\u00f6. With a short stop on the first island Riv\u00f6, we arrived at northern part of Br\u00e4nn\u00f6 R\u00f6dsten after about 30 minutes. Br\u00e4nn\u00f6 is different then the other islands as it relied mostly on shipping and farming as a source of income and has around 1000 inhabitants in the winter and 3000 in summer. The famous ballad composer Lasse Dahlqvist lived on Br\u00e4nn\u00f6 and you can see posters and memorials of his music career all over the island.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nOnce we got off the ferry and I immediately noticed the small routes. I was thinking to myself; No car can ever fit in here, right? Actually, that is correct as cars are not allowed in the southern part of the archipelago, which makes this a great destination for hiking, sightseeing, and of course bike rides. They did have one motor-powered vehicle on the island and it was quite popular with the locals. I am of course talking about the transport moped and it was love at first sight!<\/p>\n

After getting some fresh muffins at the local bakery we decided to go for a bit of a larger lunch. We ended up at the lovely restaurant called: The Inn.

The service was excellent and although the prices might be a bit high (\u20ac27,- for a meal) you have to keep in mind that a lot of items need to be imported to these islands.<\/p>\n
The whole atmosphere of the restaurant suited the island style and after a good meal we went on to explore what else the islands had to offer us. The bakery was very reasonable priced therefore you could also consider buying your food there. I personally think it is important to try and support the local business as much as possible. That does not mean you always have to eat in the most fancy restaurants, but if you want to go low budget please also consider shopping at the local supermarket.
