Cruise ships most often call at the port of Visby, the island's historic centre and one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Scandinavia. Visby is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and charms visitors with its well-preserved town walls, cobbled lanes, historic churches and the atmosphere of the old Hanseatic days.
Gotland is an ideal destination for lovers of nature, history and easy-going sightseeing. The island offers beautiful beaches, cycling routes, picturesque coastlines and unique wildlife. A great symbol of the island is the Gotland pony, a native breed of small horse that has lived here for centuries and is a typical feature of the local landscape. Traditional villages, farms selling local produce and natural sights that show the diversity of this unique place are also well worth a visit.
