Munken or Munkkällaren.: A good night club.
Dizzyhead Says: It is a very good night club at Stora Torget in Visby. I have been both here during the fall and the summer time. It is a very nice place with lots of places to hide. It is in an old building built in stones. Very cool place. During the summer it is a very popular place to...
Graceland.: Listen to music in the harbour.
Dizzyhead Says: It is a boat in the harbour in Visby which offer you drinks and food. They have trubadurs playing here at night during the summer. It is a good place for a family or friends which doesnt want to meet the real party life during the summer in Visby. Summer clothes.
Jschukal Says: We booked tickets at an agent in Stockholm. It includes a 1hr bus ride to the ferry pictured which takes about 3 hrs to Gotland. The boat is extremely roomy and comfortable. Make sure you book in advance for the way back as they do fill up. We were lucky to make standby on...
Dizzyhead Says: The best way to go around Gotland is by bus if you want to use the public transportation things. No trains on Gotland for public transportation. If you check on internet you can get time table and more information about the public buses.www.gotland.se/kollektivtrafikenYou...

Dizzyhead Says: Here you find everything you need for your camping when you are at Tofta strand. It has almost everything you want to have for your vacation. Food, newspapers, toilette paper or what ever you need for your stay on your camping. Normal prices. Maybe alittle more expensive.
Dizzyhead Says: This is an organisation who have lectures and tours about culture, traditions and nature in Gotland. It is a non-political organisation, so when you go to Gotland. Check with them if they have anything interesting for you. Perhaps they only have tours in the Swedish...

Dizzyhead Says: This is a brochure with lots of advertisement from tourist attractions all over Gotland and also repotages what you can do on the island. The brochure give you information about good deals, new places to stay at, important things about the new summer season, describing...
Sjalen Says: Whatever you do, do NOT swim by the rauk fields. Yes, it looks very tempting with a white and pebbly beach and even more tempting to jump from some of the cliffs, but the beaches here consist of aeons of coral seabed development and different stages of landrise which mean...
Watch a rock musical festival Vadstuck.
Dizzyhead Says: I have been here for many years ago and it was fun, but it rained. I know that we drank a lot anyway. 2006 there will be more bands from the island. So go and see them. It is only one day, but next year they plan to make a festival on 2 days. My experience of this festival...
Sjalen Says: I have only passed this village by bus so I have no photos, but just about 10 kilometres north-east of Visby, along the Fårösund road, you find this amazing place. First you come across a huge cairn (stone mound) where some local chieftain has his final resting place. Then...

Sjalen Says: Gotland is known for Sweden's only wild horse, the Gotlandsruss or simply "russ". In English, it is called the Gotland (or sometimes Viking) Pony and it runs wild at the Lojsta Heath in the inland south of the island. The closest I can come to describe them is if you are...
PALLINA Says: Gotland is amazingly nice, especially if it is sunny. It's capital town, Visby, was an hanseatic Town and is extremely rich of churches. Actually, Gotland has the highest concentration of churches of all Scandinavia, due to its flourishing past as hanseatic town. Most of...
Sjalen Says: At famous Fridhem south of Visby, there is a little cafe down by the beach which is famous for its Swedish waffles. We didn't think them that extraordinary compared to all other Swedish waffles but still, they are delicious by definition :) The best thing about this place...

Gotland is Sweden's biggest island, and a county all on its own. In the tourist brochures, it is marketed to the rest of us as "Sweden abroad" and that is not far from the truth, as Gotland is not...
About 58000 persons are living on Gotland, which with 3140 km2 is the largest island in the Baltic Sea. The island is 50 km from the west to the east coast, and 176 from the south to the north tip. ...
This island is my favourite part of Sweden, maybe except for Stockholm but the two can’t be compared anyway, Stockholm being a rather big city and Gotland a rural area where time at some places seems...
Gotland is right in the middle of the Baltic Sea. It is Sweden´s largest island . I was in Visby-the capital of the island-and the atmosphere there...you just have to feel it! It´s very nice town......
Gotland and its hanseatic capital Visby
