Vaxholm

Vaxholm serves as the gateway to the Stockholm Archipelago, renowned for the Vaxholm Fortress built in 1549. Despite a modest population of around 6,151, it holds the historic title of 'city' and encompasses 64 islets, including the main inhabited areas of Vaxön, Resarö, Rindö, and nature-rich Kullö. For frequent travelers, Vaxholm offers a compact yet authentic archipelago experience, blending maritime history with serene island living. Its municipality proudly uses the designation 'Vaxholms stad' for its entire territory, reflecting its unique status. Visitors staying here can easily access the broader archipelago network while enjoying the charm of a historic coastal hub.
