Photogenic Vaxholm

  • 📍 The view from the Castle Tower

    Vaxholms kastell

    It is definitely worth climbing the 130 steps up the tower at Vaxholms kastell. The view of Vaxholm, the bay and the islands is striking. If the weather is clear, you can see all the way to Globen, Nackamasterna and KaknÀstornet.

  • 📍 Norrhamnen

    Vaxholm

    The picturesque Norrhamnen, with piers, old fishermen's cottages, boathouses and bathing rocks, is located on the north side of the city center. Here you will also find Vaxholm's homestead with a summer café, museum and beautiful views of the bay and the archipelago boats.

  • 📍 Town Hall Square

    Vaxholm

    In addition to the beautiful Town Hall from the 1880s, the large chestnut tree, the chess set and the hedge, there is also an old telephone booth. Perfect for a fun picture.

  • 📍 Bogesund Castle Garden

    Bogesund

    The long avenue of old park trees, the vast meadows and the lush castle park - there is a lot to photograph in the area around Bogesund Castle. It is particularly beautiful in the fall, when the magnificent trees create a sea of orange leaves.

  • 📍 Hamngatan

    Vaxholm

    On the most central street in the archipelago town you will find several colorful house facades. Perhaps the yellow house with the high tower, at the intersection of Hamngatan and RĂ„dhusgatan, is one of the finest?

  • 📍 Stensundsviken



    At the almost hidden resting place by the quiet bay, you get a beautiful view of the archipelago. On hot summer days you can see the sun setting between the islands.
