The Southeast & Gotland
Ports, Roads & Trails
The southeast is paradise for the outdoorsy person, with grand ports for sailors, quiet
lakeside roads for cyclists and miles of glorious woodland trails.
National Treasures
A wander through Visby's cobblestone streets, past fairy-tale cottages and haunting church
ruins, and the gasp-inducing view of sky, sea and rock at Öland's southernmost point will
make it clear why both have earned Unesco distinction.
Canals, Castles & Churches
Steeped in tales of industry and migration, boasting the engineering triumph of the Göta
Canal and with some seriously impressive castles, the southeast has plenty of history to
share. Not to mention Gotland's stunning churches and the pilgrim's route to St Birgitta's
abbey.
