The west coast of Sweden<\/a> is dotted with islands, making them perfect for summer vacations or day trips from Gothenburg. Having already visited the Southern Archipelago from Gothenburg<\/a>, I wanted to head north as well. After considering a few options, Marstrand looked like the perfect place to spend a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As I began to make plans to visit Marstrand on the Saturday before I headed to Stockholm<\/a> the next day, I learned there was going to be a major event going on there that day: Match Cup Sweden 2016. While I had never heard of it before, it’s a major event in Sweden and one of the biggest sailing races in the world. At first, I was concerned that I might not be able to make my day trip to Marstrand due to the crowds, but extra buses are scheduled thanks to the sailing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
