A marvelous museum. Larger than you'd expect and with well-designed displays, presenting Gotland's history from formation over 400 million years ago, to viking times, through the medieval period and on, showing vast arrays of remains and objects telling the story. Information is available in Swedish and English throughout the museum. Highly recommended for anyone with the slightest interest in history

Great big cathedral! Definitely worth the visit but adds to it visiting the old ruin in combination. There are some nice places around it to, walking through the botanical garden, visiting the cathedral and then the stairs up to a good view over the city. Recommend a visit here and the walk around it! Fun fact, Gotland has 92 churches so anyone who likes visiting them will see plenty during their stay.

A very good library for its size, with a large collection of foreign language books suitable, which is nice for expatriates working at the nearby University of Uppsala Campus Gotland. They're also very generous about letting short-term visitors have a library card. It has comfortable seating and desks, seldom full, and a convenient self-service check-in/check-out system. It has two disadvantages. One is that it doubles as both the University of Uppsala's library AND the town of Visby's public library. As a result it often contains a lot of noisy small children, which is not ideal for scholars trying to study. The other is that it has a very nice café attached, with some of the best coffee around--but the café is open to the library and all the noise from it comes straight in to the work spaces, even the ones upstairs. I go to the library chiefly for the café, but if I need to work I have to go elsewhere.

One of the best experience's ever. This ~20000 yr old cave is very well preserved. The interesting facts and stories shared by the tour guide was so captivating I came back home reading about it. 5stars to the cave. A the lack of transport options could be a problem if the trip is not planned to that granularity. One's having their own vehicles shouldn't miss this experience at any cost.

The Tourist Information Centre is in the heart of Visby, on Donners plats just next to Almedalen. They love helping visitors and giving up-to-date advice on what´s giong on in Visby and across the island. You might want to know which beach would suit you the best, where you find the nearest sea stack to Visby or the easiest way to get to Faro by public transport. They know everything that´s giong on and everything you mustn't miss on Gotland and their genuine expertise is a rich source of help, ideas and inspiration. The tourist Information Centre also has souvenirs, books, gifts and lots of inspiring information about Gotland, not to mention help buying tickets for events, bus passes and booking last-minute accommodation. World-class personal service in other words!

Located in the centre of Visby, easy to find. Staff are very helpful, good free maps and local information are available. Also good for souvenirs to take home - postcards, mugs, sweets etc. Reasonably priced too. Good place to start your exploring of the town. Recommended
