    Tips

    The center of the old Visby is very clearly marked by the history of an old Hanseatic city with once great importance in trade as well as great wealth.
    In the center there were once 15 large old (mostly gothic) churches in the Middle Ages. Except for the cathedral, all churches were demolished by the Lübeckers at the beginning of the 16th century as a result of disputes.
    Remarkably, the remains of the churches have been preserved over the centuries.

      @Sascha: A little more effort in the contribution to existing highlights or creating highlights is already required. Your default phrase "No special skills required" is spam.

        Those who love medieval festivals, jousting tournaments and such historical spectacles certainly get their money's worth at the Medieval Week in early August in Visby. In 2019, the festival will take place from 4-11 August. More information including the possibility to subscribe to a newsletter can be found here: medeltidsveckan.se
