Sights on the Stockholm Archipelago Boat Tour include Fjäderholmarna, the Nyckelviken Nature Reserve, Stora Höggarn, and Granholmen. Pass by the Vaxholm Fortress, which dates back to the 16th century and was commissioned by King Gustav Vasa to defend the archipelago.
The original fortress withstood attacks twice—once by the Danes and later by the Russians. In the 19th century, the old fortress was replaced with the current one, but tests showed it couldn’t withstand modern attacks, leading to the construction of a new fortress at Oskar-Fredriksborg.
