Welcome to Gotland
The Baltic Sea’s largest island, Gotland is characterised by first-class dining experiences, millennial history, outstanding nature and beautiful beaches. Gotland appeals to anyone longing to discover something new, to find themselves or to just breathe freely.
Nature
Along the island's 800 km of coast there are deserted pebble beaches, roads through lush forests, steep cliffs, popular sandy beaches and small harbours and fishing hamlets. The sea’s constant presence makes it possible to ride out on horseback from the east at sunrise and enjoy a sunset picnic in the west on the same day. Encompassed by the coasts are flowering meadows, green forests and enigmatic rocky outcrops. On Gotland, you are never far from an adventure in nature.
Cuisine
Agriculture is widespread and many restaurants serve locally produced ingredients, refined to world class quality. The island's culinary adventures range from cultural grains and lamb farms to local breweries and distilleries that offer thirst-quenching beverages, with or without alcohol.
Culture
With its own myth regarding its creation, its medieval churches and ancient remains, the whole island is a fascinating attraction.
The Hanseatic League City and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Visby is vibrant with cosy alleys, eateries and shopping.
Travelling to Gotland is like travelling back in time, but at the same time ending up in the wonderful range of experiences of contemporary times.
