$$$ Higher Priced
—Most rooms 1,500 kr or more.
$$ Moderately Priced
—Most rooms between 1,000-1,500 kr.
$ Lower Priced
—Most rooms 1,000 kr or less.
Prices can change without notice; verify the hotel's current rates online

Today, the fortress welcomes guests to wander its tough little island and
visit its museum. Presented chronologically on two floors (starting upstairs),
the modern exhibit traces the military history of this fortress and of Sweden
generally. It uses lots of models and mannequins, along with actual weaponry
and artifacts, to tell the story right up to the 21st century. There's no English
posted, but you can pick up the good English translations as you enter. It's as
interesting as a museum about Swedish military history can be.
Since Vaxholm is so close to Stockholm, there's little reason to sleep here.
But in a pinch, Waxholms is the only hotel in town.
