The best-preserved fortified commercial city in northern Europe
A former Viking site on the island of Gotland, Visby was the main centre of the Hanseatic League in the Baltic from the 12th to the 14th century. Its 13th-century ramparts and more than 200 warehouses and wealthy merchants' dwellings from the same period make it the best-preserved fortified commercial city in northern Europe.[unesco]
It's like being thrown back in time in this wonderful small medieval town with the old walls surrounding it - especially the first week in August (W32) every year when it's a Medieval week festival there.Read about it here:
