Absolutely loved it here. The Vaxholm fortress itself is impressive with a large courtyard and lots of roses (we visited in July). It has a restaurant (with limited fika options during lunchtime) and a nice museum. The entrance fee to the museum was 100kr for adults, sadly there was no student discount. I found the basement level which tells how people used to live in Vaxholm particularly interesting and the stories were told very well with a lot of multimedia experience. The very short cable ferry trip to reach it was kinda expensive though (100kr for a runaround trip)
We were very excited to visit this fortress however it was big disappoinment for us. It is changed into a hotel ( it can be nice to stay over night at this place - but nothing else to do) and except for the tower, where there is a nice view, there is nothing to see. Admission is free. Only the ferry is paid. Definitely not worth a visit for me. Very small town to walk through, you're going to be done in less than 10 - 15 min. If you really plan to visit this place go by public transport - from Stockholm you are here by bus in 34-45min and it costs a few crowns. Cruises are very expensive to get here and the result is not really worth it. Sweden has beautiful nature and it is worth paying for a cruise or other sightseeing tour of smaller islands and surroundings. We would rather skip this island next time
It's an old fortress that was defending Stockholm from the bad guys. It has a bed and breakfast, cafe museum and a small souvenir shop. The ferry to the fortress cost 100Skr for a return ticket and then the museum cost the same to enter. But it was a nice tripp if you are interested in some history and a very nice fortress indeed.

So we took the ferry from Stockholm to Vaxholm which doesn't come with the usual public transport SL tickets (it's 97 for adults and 64 SEK for student per trip) then we realize that we need to take another boat around 20 meters to the fortress which is another around 100 SEK 🤣🤣
Imposing castle on an island, a short ferry hop from the town of Vaxholm. Very well maintained. Variety of cannons through the ages. Lots to explore, or just relax and ponder life.
Great place to roam and have a picnic. It is well maintained and clean. 100kr for round ticket to fortress. Also have to pay to visit museum inside the fortress.

The Castle was quite impressive. The walk up to the top was not for folks with mobility issues. The architecture was amazing, brick laid spiral staircases, thick castle walls and cannon. Thought about perhaps returning to visit overnight. The most interesting thing about the adventure was the ferry ride across the channel. Cable driven on the way back from the castle. Guess how the pedestrian only ferry gets over to the castle from the dock? Took me a while to figure it out. The inexpensive ticket included access to the castle. If you love castles, history, ferries or just plain wander lust, this fun ferry ride is well worth the fare. Cash and cars can be a problem. It is of course 🇸🇪 Sweden, and Vaxholm tends to be crowded for vehicles during peak tourist season. I swish you a pleasant visit to this castle.
I visited the fortress with my work colleagues. We had a blast over there. At first we were greatly welcomed with tea, coffee and pastries, followed by loads of team building activities that challenged us in many different ways, leadership, strategy, strength, logic and also music. Later we had a super lunch served by the chefs of the fortress, which I super recommended as well (including veggie and vegan options), the staff were great with us at all the time. We left the place with loads of great and fun memories. Super recommended for both, personal visitors and business activities.
Great historical and well maintained castle. You have to take a ferry to reach the castle, cost 90kr. After reaching Castle it's an amazing place. There are amazing cannons and launchers, some looks from the recent past. Good time to go in the early afternoon and morning, as in late afternoon, coffee shops are closed. Castle has some hidden doors which are accessible to the Castle staff, they might allow you incase you request them. Also around the castle it's a great walk.

A lot of fun to run around the island exploring, evening during the cold winter weather. But don't come alone, otherwise you might not be brave enough to go down some of the dark passages on the island. If the passage doors close on you and you are by yourself, there is no one on the island to free you :(
