The '''Åland Islands''' ''(Finnish:Ahvenanmaa)'' are a huge bunch of sometimes really small islands between [[Finland]] and [[Sweden]]. As all roads are really small, a good spot for hitchhiking is never difficult to find. The city busses buses in Mariehamn are for free. The short range ferries (on which you easily can find a lift to the next one) are for free as well for foot passengers.

?The common way to get to Åland is by ferry. There are big ferries from [[Sweden]] ([[Stockholm]], [[Kapellskär]], [[Grisslehamn]]) and from [[Finland]] ([[Helsinki]], [[Turku]]). They usually don't cost more than EUR 20.
