🌙 Arriving in the evening? If you arrive after paid parking hours have ended, a 2, 4 or 8–12 hour parking space in central Vaxholm can often be a convenient choice. The following morning you can simply start your parking session in the parking app (where permitted by local signage).
🧳 Travelling with family or friends? Drop off your luggage and passengers near the ferry quay first. One person can then park the car.

There are several good parking options depending on how long you are staying.
Our favourite option if you are staying for several nights.
Parking is free of charge, and after parking you simply take the free Swedish Transport Administration road ferry back to Vaxholm before walking to the ferry quay for Kastellet.
A great choice if you prefer to park on the Vaxholm side and stay within easy walking distance of the ferry quay.
Parking charges apply according to the municipality’s parking regulations.
A convenient option if you are staying for one night.
If you arrive in the evening and leave the following morning, the permitted parking time is often sufficient.
Ideal if you only need to:
The closest parking option if you simply want to unload your luggage before parking elsewhere.
Once your car is parked, walk to the ferry quay where the regular Waxholmsbolaget boat departs for Kastellet.
Before your arrival we will always send you information about departure times, the correct quay and how to get to Kastellet.
If you are staying at Sjövillan, we recommend Rindövägen 3.
