Enjoy a scenic private boat trip from Stockholm to Vaxholm, often referred to as the capital of the Stockholm archipelago. The boat ride takes about 45 minutes each way, leaving roughly 1 hour to explore Vaxholm on land. This idyllic coastal town features charming narrow alleys, small shops, restaurants, and art galleries, making it a delightful place for a relaxing stroll by the water in the heart of the archipelago. The historic Vaxholm Fortress, an impressive structure dating back to the 1500s, was built to protect the entrance to Stockholm and is one of the best-known landmarks in the Stockholm archipelago. On the return journey to Stockholm, a different route is taken to showcase as much as possible of the beautiful archipelago scenery and islands.
