Travel to Vaxholm

Just as easy all year round

Vaxholm is easily accessible all year round by boat or bus. You can also take your own car, but since Vaxholm is an island, and the city center is only a small part of it, the possibility of parking there is limited.

Boat and bus from Stockholm

Both Waxholmsbolaget's and Strömma's boats operate regularly in Vaxholm. There are also commuter boats through SL. Waxholmsbolaget's boats and SL's commuter boats depart from Strömkajen at Grand Hotell, while Strömma's boats depart from Strandvägen. If you prefer to take the bus, bus 670 leaves from Tekniska högskolan several times an hour. You can find the timetables here:

Bus 670 from the Technical University

With your own car

Vaxholm is an island, and the city center is only a small part of it, which limits the possibility of parking there.

If you come to Vaxholm by car, we therefore recommend that you choose a parking space outside the inner city center. There are more parking lots to choose from and you can easily walk down to the center. You can also use the SL bus 670 as a transfer from the parking lot, it serves the center of Vaxholm several times an hour.

You can find information about parking spaces on the city website. The parking map is continuously updated by the traffic unit of the municipality.

During the summer period from June to August, the number of parking spaces is increased with temporary parking areas. See parking map below.

This is how you pay for your parking.
