Explore the medieval, walled town of Visby, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on an informative four-hour adventure that includes scenic driving as well as a visit to the local history museum. Visby is an outstanding example of a northern European walled Hanseatic town. Board your motorcoach and enjoy a quick drive to the old Hanseatic harbor at Almedalen. Here, you'll embark on a walking tour through its narrow, cobbled streets to view its highlights. You'll arrive at the historical Gotland Museum, where 8,000 years of the region's rich history is displayed in interactive galleries. Continue on a panoramic drive through the countryside southeast of Visby. Along the way, you'll stop to photograph one of the rural medieval churches. Continue through the countryside to the fishing village of Gnisvärd to see the unusual boat shaped graves, which dates from the Bronze Age. Return to port at the conclusion of this fascinating day.

Special Notes:

Participants will encounter cobblestone streets in Visby and some uneven terrain elsewhere. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Tour requires approximately one hour and 30 minutes of walking. The medieval church and the St Mary's Church can close on short notice. In this case, the visit will be from outside only.
