The guide will tell you about the herring fishery and how King Gustav Vasa decided to place the defense of Stockholm's inlet here at Vaxholm. You will also hear about the summer guests who came to the city during the 19th century and about funny little anecdotes. The walk continues past the city's town hall and ends in Västerhamnen.
