For families with children

When you're in Vaxholm with your family, there's plenty to discover. Here are some tips on things you can do that are equally fun for both young and old.

1. Go on a discovery tour in Bogesund Nature Reserve.

2. Climb the high ropes courses at Skypark.

3. Explore the castle. Let your imagination run wild inside the historic walls and challenge your family in Prisoners of the Castle.

4. Take a dip at one of Vaxholm's many swimming spots.

5. Play chess in the Town Hall Square.

6. Unleash your passion for play in the playground at Lägret.

7. Visit the library's story times or borrow a book to read on a blanket at Batteriparken.

8. Build a fire and grill sausages at the windbreak on Eriksö.

9. Visit Vaxholm's little candy shop Waxholms Choklad and pretend it's Saturday all week.

10. Take a look at Lilla Handelsboden. There are toys and clothes for the little ones.

11. Take a seat in the red velvet armchairs at the Vaxholms Biografteater. Although the theater is one of Sweden's oldest, it often shows the latest premieres.
