On our fourth day in Stockholm, we hopped on a Cinderella boat (yes Cinderella) to explore a nearby island called Vaxholm. This cute place is only about 45 minutes from Stockholm, a charming option for day trippers especially when the sun shines.
The first thing we did upon reaching Vaxholm – despite the fact that it still felt like winter – was to get double scoops of ice-cream. I tried the coconut and mango/passionfruit ice-cream and both were delicious. Right at the pier, you can’t miss it.
Cafes.
Cute houses.
Outdoor lunch by the sea.
It was already late afternoon by the time we got back to Stockholm, we decided to head over to Gröna Lund, the amusement park on Djurgården island. Why? For the sunset view up on this particular ride…
Totally worth it.
