Destination Gotland, Visby, Sweden

After sailing for three hours from Nyn盲shamn on the Swedish mainland, I finally arrived on Gotland at 11.20 PM on May 1st, to the beautiful town of Visby, which is the main town on Gotland. The old Hanseatic city center of Visby is surrounded by a 3,4 km. town wall and is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Scandinavia. It鈥檚 also represented on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.

Because of the fascinating history and the many well-preserved ruins in the town, Visby has always been on the top of my list of places that I want to visit. Therefore, it was only natural that I made it a part of my Northern Europe journey.

I started the 20-minute walk from the harbour to the center of Visby, through the town wall, trying to find my Visby Logi & Vandrarhem, where I鈥檇 be staying for the next two nights. It didn鈥檛 even cross my mind to check it out on a map first 鈥� I had the street name and I thought that was enought, but Visby was bigger than expected, haha. Stupid me!
