Pleasant place to explore. Museum was closed when we visited so we missed that. You can circumnavigate the island and climb the tower

Nice place to visit at Vaxholm. You have to go by boat to the castle from Vaxholm ferry terminal. Ferry from Stockholm stops at Castle after Vaxholm, better to get down there instead of Vaxholm and comeback to Vaxholm in the small boat( for cost saving).
Museum is closed on the weekends!

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.

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
