Exploring Gotland

A visit to Gotland naturally begins in Visby, where the ferry
terminal and airport are located. To experience this unusual part of
Sweden it is best to strike out into the countryside and discover
the exceptional landscape with its distinctive flora, long sandy
beaches, curious limestone sea stacks and multitude of medieval
churches. Hiring a bike and cycling round Gotland is a popular way

lanes constantly lead to new hideaways. There is plenty of bed- Farö Fyr
