UNESCO World Heritage Hanseatic town of Visby

A visit to Visby is like a journey through time.

The old town of Visby feels like a walk through another era. You don't have to imagine the Middle Ages – it's still here, around every corner. Inside the well-preserved town wall you encounter a living cultural heritage where past and present go hand in hand – where monastery bells and the clinking of glasses in street cafés blend together.

And the best part? From SOMMARLADAN you can reach this magical town in just 20 minutes by car. A place we preserve – not only for ourselves today but for future generations too.

The Lummelunda Cave – one of Sweden's longest natural caves

It all began in the 1950s as an adventure of three curious teenagers who crawled with torches and courage through a small hole in the rock. What they found was a hidden underground world full of silence, stalactites and trickling water.

Today you can follow in their footsteps and experience the same magic – but with a helmet and an experienced guide instead of a secret exploration. An exciting outing for the whole family – about 30 km north of SOMMARLADAN, near Visby.

Gotland's rauk fields – the island's natural sculptures

For great nature experiences: Visit Langhammars.
