"Medieval Walls, Baltic Shores, and Timeless Charm"
Gotland Tourism
Gotland, Sweden’s largest island, is a land of medieval towns, limestone cliffs, and endless beaches in the middle of the Baltic Sea. Known for its well-preserved history, Viking heritage, and unique landscapes, Gotland offers a mix of charming old streets, coastal beauty, and peaceful countryside. The island’s capital, Visby, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with cobblestone alleys, medieval stone walls, and ancient church ruins that make it feel like a step back in time.
Beyond Visby, limestone sea stacks, known as "raukar," rise from the shore, creating otherworldly landscapes along the coast. White-sand beaches, clear blue waters, and rolling meadows make Gotland a perfect summer destination. The island is famous for its cycling trails, Viking sites, and local food, including fresh seafood, truffles, and the beloved saffron pancake. Summer festivals, like Medieval Week, bring knights, markets, and tournaments to life.
Must Know Before You Travel to Gotland
Ferries Sell Out Fast in Summer: Book the ferry from Stockholm or Nynäshamn to Visby early, as tickets sell out months in advance during peak season.
Public Transport is Limited: Buses don’t run frequently, and there are no trains—renting a car or bike is the best way to explore the island.
Midnight Sun in Summer: In June and July, it stays light almost all night—bring a sleep mask if you need darkness to sleep.
Wind Can Be Strong: Even in summer, Gotland can be windy, so bring a light jacket for cooler evenings.
Most Shops & Restaurants Close in Winter: Many tourist spots, including cafés, hotels, and attractions, are only open from May to September.
