Great Gotland

Gotland is an island outside Sweden which definitely is worth a visit.
It is the largest island in the Baltic sea and the region is considered by some historians to be the original homeland of the Goths. Nice isn´t it?

The top ten things to do on Gotland is...

1. Start your trip with staying at the hotel Djupvik by the sea. A small fabulous lux hotel by the sea. To sit by the pool, overlooking the sea, having a drink and see the sunset is truly amazing.
   
   2. After dreaming away at Djupvik, go to Visby and visit the Dome church. The island is suppose to have nearly 100 medieval churches and I didn´t visit all of them. The Dome is beautiful, it is in Visby which is the largest town on the island.
   
   3. Time for Icecream! Try a the local Guteglass in the ice cram shop by the harbour in Visby.
   
   4. Have lunch at Donners plats in the city centre of Visby. The place to eat is restaurant Donners Brunn. A smaller but nice restaurant in Visby is Packhuskällaren on Strandgatan 16. Cheaper but with ok food is Trossen in the port on adress Skeppsbron 14.
   
   5. Check in at the Clairon Wisby hotel. A supernice hotel in the middle of Visby. The hotel was started in 1850, but don´t worry it has been renovated into a design medieval hotel.
   
   6. Have a coffee at the St Clemens ruin. The church was built in 1200 and today there is only a ruin. You can buy the coffe in the hotel St Clemens.
   
   7. Shopping? Buy a sheep, it is a typical sovenier of Gotland. But do not buy a real one, just a small fake one.
   
   8. Chill at the cool bar by the sea called Kallbadhuset. According to their website it has been nominated to the best beach club in Europe. Do you agree?
   
   9. Go to Stånga to see the Knights tournament during the middle age theme week in August. It is like travelling 600 years back in time. Visit the medieval markets, listen to the music, see theater and Knights clash in tournaments.
   
   10. If you are in to film. You should also include a visit to the Ingmar Bergmar center on Fårö.
