Visby

Right next to Visby's well-preserved ring wall from the 1200th century is Best Western Solhem Hotell. Here you live centrally with the medieval cobbled streets and the historic buildings just around the corner. At the same time, you can feel the tranquility of beautiful natural surroundings and the proximity of the sea. Use the day to stroll around and breathe in Visby's atmosphere. Find a cozy restaurant and enjoy Gotland specialties such as lamb, saffron pancakes, salmon berries and much more.

Now it's time to hop on the bike saddle and cycle across Gotland to Ljugarn. At Lojsta you can visit Lojsta heath, known for its wild-roaming horses, Gotlandsrussen. Cycle or go into the heath to see if you find any grazing horses. If it gets sweaty on the bike, there is a swimming lake on the road, right next to Lojsta Castle, here you can both take a dip for the cool and take a tour of history. At this place you can visit the reconstructed Iron Age farm, Lojstahallen, and walk the barely kilometer-long cultural path among the small lakes. The castle, or the ancient remains of an old medieval castle, you will see if you follow the path. Gotland is also known for its skilled potters. Ethelhem has the oldest pottery, which was founded at the end of the 1800th century. There is also a small café, perfect for a liquid break and an ice cream on the way. Arriving in Ljugarn, you check in at Pensionat Lövängen, which will be your home for the next two nights. In the evening, dinner is served in the middle of the beach at Ljugarns Strandcafé.

The last stretch of your cycling holiday takes you across the island, from east to west. If you can imagine cycling a few miles extra, the trip across Östergarnslandet and Kattharmmarsvik is fantastic to discover by bike. Here you cycle along limestone white roads that meander along the coast. Enjoy the barren landscape at Grogarnsberget and the view towards Östergarnsholm. At Sysne there is a beautiful little harbor where you can buy freshly smoked fish. If you start to get tired in the legs and want to take the fastest road to Visby, you can cycle along a busy road all the way. Not an equally cozy stretch to cycle but on the way you can discover the Gotlanders' thousand-year-old meeting place Roma in the middle of the island. Here you will find Gotland rooms with arts and crafts and design from all over Gotland as well as exciting art exhibitions, Info-center, Roma monastery ruin, Roma glassworks with factory sales, Permission Chapel, an Herb Garden and Café. At Roma Kungsgård you can e.g. try different crafts, buy fine Gotland products, have coffee, go on a guided tour or stroll around the historic environment yourself. For current program and prices, see www.romakungsgard.se. Back in Visby, check in at Solhem Hotell, stroll away to Visby Hyrcykel to return your bike and then snuggle around in Visby's alleys and look for a cozy restaurant for the evening.
