Museum and Viking Trail in Grisslehamn. It is close to Grisslehamn from Utanå-Skäret, about 40 minutes’ drive to this popular northern archipelago town. Check out the Albert Engström Museum and the artist's stylish studio at the far end of a cliff. Or take a turn along the “Old Viking Trail”. Some nice places to eat, I especially recommend "L8", in the old harbor ,close to the fish market store.

This is a scenic place, on old fisherman’s bay with old houses and a cholera graveyard, to stroll around and look at the scenery. Birthplace and place of living of Harald Lindberg (1901-1976), the most famous painter from Väddö and Björkö. Harald Lindberg is well-known across all of Sweden for his paintings and artwork. His artwork is well presented in both Arholma kyrka and Björkö-Arholma kyrka. Have a look in the churches when they are open for visitors.

Matkultur
In Älmsta there is a lot of food to do, such as a visit to Väddö farm dairy with “Glasskalas” and “Bonden & Burgaren”. Here you will also find “Krön's garden”, where you can shop for plants and at the same time enjoy the surroundings with a lunch or coffee at “Krön's kitchen”.

With the island's best scout location, you can enjoy both coffee and archipelago-inspired food overlooking the harbor and the sea. Or why not hang out at the bar, with an Arholma beer from Västergården brewery outside Norrtälje? Locally so it suggests!
