A summer route, operates 10/6 - 15/8 2010 Just like the Mediterranean, but in Sweden. Visiting Gotland and Visby feels just like being abroad. Here the mediaeval and the modern meet in a mixture where leisure, food, experiences and shopping are ingredients. The nightlife in Visby is among Sweden’s best, and you can find both food and accommodation to suit any budget.
Visby is also known as the “town of the roses”. It is an old trading city of the Hansa dynasty, and is surrounded by a characteristic city wall. Mediaeval Week takes place here every summer, and many specialities are available such as lamb, saffron pancakes and the special Gotland brew. Outside of the city wall, miles of sandy beaches are waiting, with top-ranked golf courses, limestone formations known as “rauks”, amusement parks,
Pippi Longstocking’s house Villa Villekulla, crafts and delicatessen food, all of it produced locally, of course.
There are excellent opportunities for an active holiday, with cycling, surfing, riding, fishing and golf. Those interested in culture will find a wide range of museums, theatres, exhibitions and concerts to choose from. City Airline flies to Visby during the summer months.
