Situated on the Swedish isle of Gotland, Hanseatic Visby was one of the most powerful cities in Europe. Today quaint homes and churches huddle together inside 13th-century walls. In former times, it was called "the city of ruins and roses," for along with its rose-covered churches, there is one somber sight - Gallows Hill, a place of execution so villains "might die looking at the loveliest spot on earth."
Picturesque. Tourist info free 30 minute wifi and toilets available

I realize that the city needs tourists dollars, but our tour did not offer anything interesting and all tours arrived at the tender at the same time - poor planning - should have been in the port longer for all the tours . One bathroom with 2 stalls available for all the tour busses - poor planning on Visby's side

We took the "West Coast Tour" which was a waste of time - it is such a beautiful city - it is best to just walk around.

If the medieval festival had not being going on the day we went, the town would have been boring and small.
