500 km of coastline

A few hours by boat from the mainland, you will find Gotland. For several generations, the island has been something of a mecca for sunbathers during the glorious summer holidays. Over the years, more and more people have discovered this pearl of the Baltic Sea, which is visited by over 300,000 holidaymakers every year. Everyone can't be wrong, so we're convinced that a trip to Gotland is something truly unique.
It doesn't matter whether you start from the south or the north. The boat trip takes just under three hours and then you are ready for whatever adventure you choose. Whether you head north, south, or even west, the coast is always close by. Gotland's long coastline offers many beautiful beaches and campsites right by the sea. In many cases, it is preferable to start your stay by visiting Visby, the medieval town. This reinforces the feeling of being abroad. Because that's what it's like. Visby's characteristic alleys with lots of ancient remains, ruins, and quaint houses stimulate the senses of young and old alike.
Living in or directly adjacent to Visby's city center can be a bit tricky in terms of both availability and price.

INNER HARBOR

Choose from 1,000 types of ice cream at the well-known Glassmagasinet, then continue on to Almedalen, take the beach promenade and check out the beautiful Botanical Garden on the way back. As a little bonus, you'll also find the Kärleksporten (Love Gate).

Come whenever you want
Anyone who has visited Gotland and Visby before, or is about to book for the first time, will quickly notice that the summer tour schedule offers a number of tours at odd times. Perhaps the ferry departs in the middle of the night, or there is a gap between check-out and departure. Kneippbyn has campsites for just that purpose.
"We simply want to try to make things as easy as possible for our guests," concludes Linda Bratt.
