Overview
This is a guided experience through Vaxholm, an idyllic Swedish coastal town, 1 hr away from Stockholm city centre. Take a vintage cruise through the Stockholm archipelago and explore its hidden gems.
Itinerary
- At 10 am, we embark on an 1900's steam boat (if in operation, depending on the day) from Stockholm city centre to Vaxholm, a Swedish summer coastal town.
- At 11 am, we arrive in Vaxholm and we begin by exploring the 16th-century fortress where battles were fought and military battalions scouted enemies arriving via the Baltic Sea for centuries.
- Then we head back into town and break for a picnic or shoreline lunch
- Pass by the old cannon battery on our way to the Vaxholm beach, a place where adults and children alike can enjoy a dip in the Baltic Sea (bring a swimsuit!)
- Head towards some of Vaxholm's gems, like its main town square and a typical Swedish Midsummer's dream café, where we enjoy some nice fika (pastries and drinks) by the seaside.
- Around 4 pm, we return to Stockholm via public transportation. We arrive around 5 pm.
Important Information
Please bring:
- sunscreen
- sunglasses
- hat
- refillable water bottle
- swimwear if you wish to go for a dip (and perhaps a change of clothes too, or a towel)
