Vaxholm is often called the Capital of the Stockholm Archipelago and offers a unique combination of sea, nature, city life, and a charming historic town centre. The guest harbour is located right in the heart of town, making it a natural meeting place for both boaters and visitors arriving by land. Vaxholm Municipality includes the Bogesund Peninsula nature reserve and around 70 islands, more than half of which are inhabited. The best way to explore them is by boat or on foot.

If you need assistance during your stay, our harbour staff are happy to help. Toilets and showers are available for guests, and thanks to the harbour's central location, you'll find a wide selection of shops, cafés, and restaurants just a short walk away. It's the perfect harbour for anyone who enjoys having plenty of options close at hand.

Vaxholm has something for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and those looking for a lively town atmosphere. The islands offer numerous scenic walking trails. One popular route is the walk around Vaxön, approximately 10 km if you follow the shoreline all the way around the island.

You can also take the ferry across the strait to Vaxholm Fortress (Kastellet), where you can discover its fascinating history dating back to the 16th century. If you're looking for something more adventurous, challenge your friends in "Prisoners of the Fortress" or test your skills by escaping from a prison cell in "Escape Kastellet."

If shopping is more your style, Vaxholm offers a wide variety of boutiques selling interior décor, clothing, gifts, local crafts, and much more.
