What you will visit:
Almedalen (cycling tour)
Known as The Valley of the Elm Trees, Almedalen was Visby's first harbor but today is a lush, green park area dotted by such historical sites as the Kruttornet (Powder Tower), Visby's oldest remaining structure. Stroll down narrow alleyways to discover beautiful botanical gardens, established in the 19th century, with trees and blooming flowers from around the world.
What you will see along the way:
Your 2.5-hour cycling tour sets off from the city and heads to the old Hanseatic harbor of Almedalen. Here, you'll maneuver through narrow streets that reveal such highlights as the oldest remaining structure in Visby, known as Kruttornet (Powder Tower), spectacular botanical gardens and the legendary Maiden's Tower. Head uphill to Klinten for views over the ruins of the old city, harbor and the Baltic Sea. Continue on a bike path to the high cliff of Högklint.
Photo Opportunity:
Pedal uphill to Klinten for picture-perfect views over the ruins of the old city, the harbor and the Baltic Sea. You'll also want to keep your camera handy for the high limestone cliff of Högklint, Gotland's highest peaks, for dramatic panoramas of Visby and sea vistas.
Snack:
Refresh during your ride with tea or coffee served with local cake at a small café in Fridhem, nestled on the property that was Princess Eugenie's summer residence.
