What you need to know

Practical

Everyday services on the islands: where to buy food, collect medicine, fill up and dispose of rubbish. Ekerö centre has most things, Stenhamra, Skå and Kungsberga have shops of their own, and on Adelsö and Munsö it is sparser. Verified details only.

Looking for timetables? Buses, the commuter boat, the ferries and the Birka boats are gathered under Getting here and around.

Services and information

Tourist information

Ekerö municipality has no staffed tourist office, but the online visitor guide Upplev Ekerö at upplevekero.se, contact [email protected]. The municipal switchboard is 08-124 571 00. At Hovgården on Adelsö the municipality has its information point for the World Heritage site in the heritage farm, and on Birka Strömma has its own information in season.
