Sweden

Some are easy day trips, others feel like the edge of the world. I’ve walked them, ferried to them, sometimes got stuck on them. If you're curious where to go beyond Tallinn, Turku or Gotland — here are ten Baltic islands you can actually visit, and why they’re worth the trip.

Wander through the cheese section of any Finnish or Swedish supermarket and you’ll likely spot Lapland cheese — something that looks like a golden-brown omelet sealed in plastic. Congratulations — you’ve just met met leipäjuusto (in Finnish) or kaffeost (in Swedish).
