Stockholm’s archipelago is a world of 30,000 islands and skerries, but its true essence is captured in the charming town of Vaxholm. On this self-guided tour, you’ll hear the stories behind Sweden’s coastal defense and the summer paradise that wealthy Stockholmers have cherished for over 150 years. This tour starts and ends at the harbor in front of the historic Waxholms Hotel, with views of the imposing Vaxholm Fortress.
