In a nutshell
That holiday feeling is waiting for you!
Sjalen Says: This is the museum for Gotland art from the 19th century, and is run by the County museum close by. Tyra Lundgren is perhaps the most famous artist represented, but there is also the couple William Blair-Bruce and Caroline Benedicks who lived just north of Visby. There are...
Länsmuseet Gotlands Fornsal 8000 years of history
CharleneP Says: The earliest picture stones were erected some time during the 5th century and the latest during the 12th century. They've got history and items from the Stone Age, the Viking, from medieval times to the present day. I have enjoyed it alot. - NO CAMERA'S INSIDE
starship Says: One of the most historically fascinating sites of Visby is the 2 mile long medieval city wall which encircles the oldest part of the city of Visby. The wall is one of Europe's oldest and is the longest of its kind. The limestone wall was erected in the 13th and is punctuated...
Värdshuset Lindgården: A very special dinner
Sjalen Says: I almost lack words when trying to describe the fantastic meal I had here at Lindgården, one of Visby's famous restaurants and a must if you have come here for the local food. The place has been included in "Sweden's best table" 2001-2006 and will probably keep going. We...
MikeAtSea Says: The flights between Gotland and the mainland are served by several companies. You can travel with Skyways from Bromma as well as from Arlanda, Gotlandsflyg from Bromma and Direktflyg from Linköping. During the summer the Norwegian company Wideroe flies from Sandefjord and...
MikeAtSea Says: Destination Gotland handles the ferry traffic between Nynäshamn-Visby and between Oskarshamn-Visby. Nowadays they use two new big high-speed ferries, M/S Visby and M/S Gotland (called SF1500 where the number gives the capacity for passengers) and a smaller ferry called HSC...
Dizzyhead Says: You find this shop not far away from the harbour in Visby. It is a shop which sells many kind of things for the tourists. You can find things made of wool, tree, glas, stone or other materials. Also dishes from Gotland like salmberries which I bought here. All things are...
Kränku.: Buy special tea here.
Dizzyhead Says: They sell tea here and mix all the teas here on Gotland. Here you buy all kind of different tea. Many of the products have names from Gotland and the most and famous mix is Guteblandning. I have tried it, and it is very delicious.
Dizzyhead Says: During the medeltidsveckan (the week of the Middle Ages) Kapitelhusgården is open between 12.00-01.00. This is a special place during this Middle Age week. During the day time there are many salesman and people working with handycraft at Kapitelhusgården. During the day time...
Nattskutan - open during the summer.
Dizzyhead Says: During the summer the church of Visby has an open white tent in the hrbour between 21.30 to 03.00. From midsummer and all July. This is a place where you can have a glas of fresh cold water after a tough party night. You can come here and just have a quiet time, relax, talk...
The tourist office in the harbour.
Dizzyhead Says: The tourist is situated in the harbour of many reasons, first it is a very central point and many of the tourists move around in this area. And at the same time many of the tourists arrive with their sailing boats and also the big ferries arrive little further away, but very...
Dizzyhead Says: This is an adventure company on Gotland and they fix all kind of excursions and adventure trips for you. They do everything from paintball, climbing, waterskiing, walk on a rope and many other kind of different travelling. You can call them or send them a mail and ask more...
MikeAtSea Says: Sweden has a zero tolerance attitude towards breaking traffic rules. My driver was pulled over at 9 am in the morning for alcohol testing and there is police presence all over the country. A speeding fine or any other traffic violations can be quiet expensive!
CharleneP Says: Near the Suderhälsan Health Spa, along the beach there is alot of rock statues in different shapes. All natural. A Must See!From Hamra drive towards Burgsvik, if you pass the Suderhälsan Spa drive along the seafront.
starship Says: Stora Karlso (sorry, again no grammatical accents could be added here) is a special island for several reasons, not the least of which is an amazing abundance of birds---razorbills, peregrin falcons, guillemots, etc. The island just off the west coast of Gotland, is also...
starship Says: The small island of Faro (sorry the gramatical accents are missing) is just across a narrow channel at the northern tip of Gotland. A ferry ride of less than 10 minutes across the Farosund brings you to this island where time has stood still. It is an island of undisturbed...
Sjalen Says: A great place which I could also have put under "restaurants" but prefer to put here for the reason that you stop here when you see the lovely setting rather than the menu and it is a great break on a cycle trip along the northern coast from Visby. The cafe consists of a...
Visbytravet - trotters in Visby.
Dizzyhead Says: You go here to bet on horser, horses competing against other horses with waggon called trav in Swedish. It is a very popular thing to do here in Sweden, and especially when it is summer time and all the tourists from the mainland visit Visby.
Dizzyhead Says: If you dont want to be on the beach all day and you want to exercise and also get some historical information and see the best historical sites in Visby, you shall book a guided tour through Visby. You can call this number or mail this guide named Irene, and get further...
Sjalen Says: Being in Visby is like experiencing medieval times all sorts of seasons but still, nothing comes close to the Medieval Week in early August when the whole city is full of minstrels, jesters, knights and damsels, and when there is jousting on a meadow down by the sea. You...
