    Overview

    Brännö is an island in the Southern Göteborg Archipelago and a locality situated in Göteborg Municipality, Västra Götaland County, Sweden. It had 708 inhabitants in 2010 and belongs to the parish of Styrsö within Gothenburg Municipality. Piloting boats and shipping are the main sources of income. Unlike the other islands in the archipelago, Brännö has never relied on fishing for its livelihood. Instead, the islanders have always cultivated the relatively fertile farmland that stretches along the eastern side. Brännö is also known for its strong connection to Swedish folk music—every Thursday evening in the summer, dance and music festivals take place at the quay in Husvik, the southernmost of the two piers served by ferries from Saltholmen. Brännö is described as a car free destination for tourists.
