Biking Around Visby

Medieval City Sights and Countryside Ride Cycle through picturesque Visby and its surrounding countryside on this panoramic bike excursion. This once important Hanseatic League port and UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of Scandinavia’s best-preserved medieval cities, with many historical remains and a defensive wall still surrounding the Old Town. Meet your guide and begin your tour with a short ride to Almedalen, a beautiful park full of manicured lawns and old elm trees in front of the old harbor. Continue past Visby’s oldest monument—the 12th-century Kruttornet, or Gunpowder Tower—and the botanical garden before biking uphill to the Klinten neighborhood, where you will stop for scenic views of the city and its pale stone cathedral below. Travel through the Österport, or East Gate, and leave the city behind on a relaxing country ride to Fridhem, the former summer palace of Princess Eugenie. Here, enjoy seaside views with coffee or tea before returning to your ship. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
