Gotland’s main town, Visby, is known as a Viking-era wonder and is a protected UNESCO World Heritage site. It brings the joy of history and the beauty of natural scenery together to bring tourists back to medieval times.

This town has been well-preserved dating back to the 13th Century, showing off its centuries-old ringmuren (The Visby City Wall) which was built between 1250 and 1288.

The best time to visit Gotland is in the Summer when restaurants, hotels, and farm shops open, and the weather hovers around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
