Medieval Visby
It's hard to overstate the beauty of the Hanseatic port town of Visby, in itself justi-
fication for making the ferry trip to Gotland. Inside its thick medieval walls are
twisting cobblestone streets, fairy-tale cottages draped in flowers, and gorgeous
ruins atop hills with stunning Baltic views. The walls themselves, with 40-plus
towers and the spectacular church ruins within, are a travel photographer's dream,
and the perimeter makes an ideal scenic stroll. The city is also a food-lover's
heaven, packed with top-notch restaurants accustomed to impressing discriminat-
ing diners.
