This video takes you on a tour through the town of Vaxholm, out to Bogesund with its lovely nature and Viking remnants, and I also visit the Vaxholm Fortress. Aside from showing you the most interesting spots in Vaxholm I also tell you about the history of the island and its neighbors, and of why Vaxholm has become such a famous tourist spot.

Kastellet, the Vaxholm Fortress, is a place where you can spend a whole day exploring - there's a restaurant, art galleries, a museum, and lots of activities. During my visit I tell you about the history of the fortress and I also show you the museum where you can learn all about Swedish defenses in the archipelago, from 1548 to today.

I also show you some restaurants and cafes you can enjoy in Vaxholm town, and discuss various activities you can partake in. For example, Skypark Vaxholm, or why not an archaeological hike where you learn about Viking history?

Aside from sailing and kayaking and a lot of watersports, people also enjoy renting a bike to explore Bogesundslandet, with the Bogesund Castle and its nature preserve. Bogesund Castle is well worth a visit for its unique architecture and fascinating history.

The video is also sprinkled with practical tips and costs of various things - as well as small recommendations for places to go and things to do. All to prepare you in case you also want to explore the capital of the Stockholm archipelago!
