General presentation
Gotland
Visby's remparts, beaches, limestone raukes and medieval churches give Gotland a strong Baltic identity.
To understand what Gotland is, you have to look at Visby, Lummelunda Cave and Fårö. These places give you a view of a territory marked by island landscapes, coastline, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 9 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
