Fantastic location. Enchanting small fortified castle that is absolutely worth the visit. Easy to park. Easy to reach. Surrounded by panoramic views of the Pyrenees. We were there twice and will certainly go back with our visitors.

Amazing experience - highly recommended! We have arrived at 6.15 PM (they close at 7 PM) on a Sunday and we still decided to pay the entrance fee to visit. It was well worth it: we were able to see all in 45 minutes : the towers, the war machines. Very well explained and visually represented with "people" in costumes. Apparently during the weekend (earlier in the day) there are various live activities as well - so we may come back with our children to experience those as well. (Note: winter schedule and activities are different)

Nice if you are around but Make sure to go when animations are available which usually take place during Sunday and not always the same program better to check online

Nice small castle for children. Well maintained and informative. Visit takes 1 hour max. Unfortunately entrances fees are quite high.

Great spot for a picnic with great views and fresh air, there's even a few goats hanging around to keep the children amused.

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.
