The Åland Islands 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 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.

How to get there

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 20€. From Turku, you can also try to hitch-hike via the archipelago, taking the short range ferries which are for free. You probably won't be able to avoid paying for a bit of the way, because not all ferries are for free. You can get a map of the archipelago and the ferries at the tourist info in Turku.
