Gotland, Sweden's largest island, is a dream destination in the Baltic Sea thanks to its sandy beaches, limestone cliffs, mysterious rock formations, and culinary specialties.

The capital, Visby, flourished in the Middle Ages and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its historic city center.

Gotland is a Swedish island and historical province. The second largest island in the Baltic Sea after Zealand (Denmark) and Funen (Denmark) and Saaremaa (Estonia) is located northeast of Öland. It takes its name from the Germanic tribe of Goths, who, according to the Gutasaga, at least partially left the island around the turn of the century to build large empires in the Mediterranean region on the continent, later as the East and West Goths.

Anyone who wants to come here has to go via Visby
