Welcome to Österåker!

Österåker is one of the fastest-growing communities in the Stockholm region and in Sweden. With its 1,100 islands and extraordinary landscapes, Österåker - located 30 km north of the capital in the Stockholm archipelago - is both an attractive place to live and a great holiday destination.

The young population is growing by about 400 people every year. Today there are almost 40,000 people living here permanently, but during the summer holiday season the population doubles.

Österåker has plenty to offer: attractive landscapes, galleries, outdoor activities, historical sites, markets, concerts, and many other types of events. The tourist office is located in central Åkersberga (June to August) and on Ljusterö (all year).
