Gotland

The island of Gotland is a Swedish province located in the Baltic Sea, between Sweden and Latvia. At approximately 3140 km square, it is the largest island in this area of the Baltic. It is a fantastic holiday destination and if you live near enough, ideal for a weekend break. For those sun-lovers among us, it is good to know that it has the Swedish sunshine record, and for sea-lovers, it’s only ever a short walk to the sea no matter where you are.

The great thing about Gotland is that it has something for everyone. If you enjoy lazy days on the beach, you can hire a bike and spend your days cycling from beach to beach, and resting in between. For the more adventurous visitor, there are a whole host of activities to enjoy, from diving, caving, kayaking, horse-riding to motor sports and racing. Throughout the year you will find that there are a variety of events taking place, such as the Round Gotland Race in sailing, live concerts and a fantastic kite festival.

In fact, Gotland’s 10,000 years of history is most certainly kept alive through its festivals, walks, lectures, plays and music. Visit the County Historical Museum if you want to know more about Gotland’s past. See the world’s biggest collection of Viking silver. And if you’re really interested in finding out about the Vikings, why not visit the Viking Village in Tofta? Your Viking guide to this ninth-century village will show you around the longhouse, smithy, market and crafts house and explain the activities you see going on. At the end of your tour you can even try to make your own bread, a piece of jewellery or learn to shoot with a bow and arrow.

Alternatively, if you want to experience the Middles Ages, why not visit the World Heritage site of Visby, the island’s main town, where for the first week of August each year the streets go back to medieval times. Medieval Week is definitely something for the historians among you and as well as enjoying the atmosphere of the crowded streets, full of jesters, musicians, beggars and more, there is plenty to entertain you, from theatrical performances to jousting.

All in all, Gotland has a lot to offer visitors. Just imagine yourself sat outside on a warm summer’s evening, enjoying a relaxed meal and listening to street musicians playing ...
