Nice ambience, friendly service, but what is it about a restaurant? The food! Unfortunately it didn't taste good at all, I had tagliatelle with scampi - totally over salted and I paid a lot of money for it, it was very annoying, my body is on strike at home with diarrhea! This shouldn't happen after visiting a restaurant!!!!! I didn't complain about the food, but rather indulged myself as much as I could, since we had guests and had invited them to the castle tower that evening.

It was delicious and the view from the tower is great. You just have to ask if you can go up then one of the employees opens the door and the castle dog is super cute. The employees are very nice but waiting an hour just for the starter is just too much

We were here for the first time today and immediately felt at home. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was extremely accommodating. We will be back definitely.

You have to buy the entrance ticket for the tower in the city museum (under the tower) (then you will get the key)

Unfortunately currently closed. However, you have a wonderful view from the terrace.

Visby Cathedral

Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
