Come to Gotland out off season. The joy of slowness mixed with the beauty of the surrounding landscape, wonderful walks and exciting activities.
The autumn is Gotlands longest season. The Baltic sea is like a hot water bottle, keeping the temperatures on a nice and warm level. Enjoy the lonely beaches; pick all kind of berries and mushrooms. Take your time for fishing or hiking and join “Fårönätter”, a long weekend with interesting activities all around the clock.
The celebration of Visby’s World Cultural Heritage is another cultural highlight in autumn. This is the prime time of rural markets. One of the most attractive events is the Christmas market in Bläse, in the north of Gotland. The atmosphere of Christmas decorated Visby seems to come directly out from a book of Elsa Beskow. Handicraft, design and fashion are dominating the scene. The perfect opportunity for your Christmas shopping without stress and overcrowded streets. And for having a quiet and relaxing time far away from everyday life.
Spring is starting already in March when new born lambs appear on the meadows. The birds are returning, cranes are trumpeting and gooses are cackling. In April wood anemones are exploding everywhere. Forests and beaches are covered with blue, reddish lilac and even white flowers. Soon after that the orchids starting to bloom.
Than you will experience Gotland as its best!
