Gotland
in Sweden
Gotland, Sweden’s limestone outpost in the Baltic, feels like a medieval fever dream (with scattered patches of WiFi). In Visby, rose-draped ruins and Hanseatic warehouses draw summer crowds, then fall back to wind and sheep. Raukar sea stacks rise like stone trolls along stark shores. It’s equal parts Viking memory, indie escape, and eccentric Nordic rebellion. Bring a bike, or commandeer a horse.
