What you will visit:
Visby (driving tour)
The quaint town of Visby, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is ringed by a 13th-century limestone wall. Visby has been inhabited since the Stone Age. Its old-world charms, tall towers, turrets and spires, winding cobblestone streets and red-rose covered homes have earned its reputation as the best-preserved medieval city in Scandinavia and its nickname, "Town of Roses and Ruins."

Almedalen (driving 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. Today Almedalen is distinguished as the location for an annual political summit.

What you will see along the way:
A medieval defensive wall surrounds the city of Visby, the capital of Gotland. Visby is best known as the Town of Roses and Ruins and is one of Sweden's most popular vacation destinations.

Galgberget (Gallows Hill)
Built in the 13th century and used until 1845, these stone pillars supported wooden beams used to hang local criminals. The hilltop location served as a warning for those approaching from the sea that criminal behavior would not be tolerated. Today, they make for an unusual photo opportunity as well as frame spectacular views.
