Visby, Sweden

Visby will amaze you with its architecture and Northern European charm as you explore the island of Gotland. The Town Wall is the best-preserved medieval fortification in Scandinavia and was built between the 13th and 14th centuries. Stop by the Botanical Gardens to see one of the reasons why Visby is nicknamed “City of Roses.” The beautiful Almedalen park is a relaxing place to spend some time before heading over to the city’s main square, Stora Torget, where cafes and cobblestone streets will give you a taste of the local life.
