Is there really a maiden imprisoned in Gunpowder Tower? Who were "The Bathing Friends"? Why are there still ruins in the city centre? Take a guided walk through enchanting Visby and hear the city's tales and legends. The walk starts at Hamnplan and proceeds to nearby Almedalen, a lush park in Visby's former harbour area. Today, Almedalen is well-known as the venue of Sweden's annual Politician's Week. The walk continues along Strandgatan, past the medieval warehouses, and on to Gunpowder Tower (Kruttornet). It stops at Fisherman's Lane (Fiskargränd), Visby's most photographed location, and the Botanical Gardens, an oasis with exotic trees and inspiring plant beds. The tour visits several of Visby's church ruins with their long, exciting history, and the beautiful S:ta Maria Cathedral. It finishes at Donnersplats in the centre of Visby, from where you have close access to more views, sights, shopping and cafés. Tickets can be reserved and bought at Gotland Tourist Information Centre (Turistbyrån).
