Nauvo is located in the center of the world's greatest and most beautiful archipelago with brackish water. The archipelago comprises more than 100 000 islands including the archipelago of Stockholm, Åland islands and the islands north of Estonia. Nauvo offers the traveller good opportunities to enjoy their vacation to the fullest - you can just relax and eat well and for the active traveller there are activities like fishing, hiking, paddling and of course sailing.

Every seasons has its' own charm. During spring and autumn, the ones interested in fishing, can go fishing by net or spinning. In the winter, ice fishing is very popular. If you are interested in picking mushrooms or berries, you can fill your basket even just along the marked nature trails. The outer archipelago is a paradise for bird watchers during spring and fall migrations. If we are blessed with a cold winter, rich of snow, you can enjoy the fresh archipelago air by skiing and ice skating. Not to forget just enjoying the beautiful landscapes! Acommodation can be arranged all year round, in either cottages, hotels or bed&breakfast's.

With a little luck, you can spot some of the world's finest yachts, fast catamarans and traditional old sailing ships in the guest harbour of Nauvo. The cruising ship Kristina Brahe enables you to make a trip to Helsinki or Savonlinna, for example, straight from Nauvo. The public ferries and the yellow ferries take you to 50 different harbours in the archipelago.

Nauvo is a versatile oasis in the middle of the archipelago with many different events - theater, dance, concerts, markets... Take a look in Nauvo's and the whole archipelago's event calendar!
