Island-hop for hidden treasures – your guide to the archipelago’s best second hand shops
Start your day by catching a Waxholmsbolaget ferry from Strandvägen or Slussen. Hunt for bargains in Vaxholm before continuing on to Gustavsberg and Ljusterö – and wrap up with a spontaneous pop-up find on Möja or Sandhamn before heading home on an evening boat.
Each shop offers something unique: from classic Lions vintage to antiques, local hidden gems, and pop-up magic. Think salty winds, scenic boat rides, and a clear focus on local second hand shopping.
