Although some tourist attractions have limited opening hours, the atmosphere inside the walls is unique with smoke from chimneys and snow-covered cobblestones.

Within the walls of Visby, it is best to go on foot as many streets are narrow and car-free during the summer. To explore the rest of Gotland, a rental car or bicycle are the most efficient options. Public transport by bus works well between major towns, but schedules are sparser outside peak season. If you plan to book flights to Gotland during the summer, you should also pre-book your rental car well in advance as demand is extremely high. Bicycle rentals are available right by the harbor and the airport, which is a fantastic way to experience the coast in a nature-oriented way.

Visby offers everything from charming guesthouses in medieval buildings to modern hotels by the sea. During Almedalen Week and Stockholm Week, everything is booked up a year in advance and prices rise sharply. For a quieter experience, one can look for accommodation just outside the walls or in fishing villages along the coast. Compared to Stockholm, the pace is lower, but the service level is high. Many choose to rent private cottages, which gives a more authentic Gotlandic feel. Keep in mind that accommodation in the inner city can involve some noise from the social life during the most intense summer weeks in July.

Gotland has a unique food culture where ingredients like lamb, truffles, and asparagus are central. Don't miss trying saffron pancake with dewberry jam, a local delicacy. Gotlanders are proud of their island and appreciate when visitors respect nature, especially the sensitive sea stack areas. It is common to greet people cheerfully in the countryside. When visiting restaurants in Visby, it is wise to book a table in advance during peak season. Drinking water quality is good, but in some parts of the island, there is a water shortage during the summer, so be sparing with your consumption to show consideration for the local population.

Visby is a very safe city, but as in all tourist destinations, one should keep an eye on valuables in large crowds. A common misconception is that everything is open year-round; many places outside Visby close completely after August. To not just be one in the crowd of tourists, try visiting the island's eastern side or northern parts like Fårö during late summer. TICKETS.SE suggests visiting Galgberget at sunset for the absolute best panoramic photo of the city and the sea without crowding with large groups at the most famous viewpoints along the city wall.
