With its historic town center, Visby is considered one of the best preserved Hanseatic cities and was therefore included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1995. Visby experienced its heyday in the Middle Ages and was the most important base of the Hanseatic League in the Baltic Sea from the 12th to the 14th century.

You simply have to walk around the ring wall (city wall) 😉.

The city wall encloses Visby's old town for approximately 3.4–3.6 km and was considered one of the most important fortifications in Northern Europe during the Middle Ages. The complex has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. It represents one of the best-preserved examples of a Hanseatic city wall.

Beautiful and definitely worth a visit. Can't get past it in the "little" Visby anyway ;-)

The townspeople were probably aware that Visby's wealth could attract pirates and warlords to plunder the town. The town could afford to build a wall, and they realized that a city wall could be a point of pride to show visitors. So a wall was built between the years 1250-1350, so it took 100 years to complete.
