Gotland
Det är något alldeles speciellt med Gotland. Kanske är det ljuset, stränderna och det ständigt närvarande havet. Att ön är en av Sveriges soligaste platser – även i november – gör sitt till. Det kan vara kulturarvet, historien som både syns och känns överallt. Eller människorna. Jordnära och gästvänliga livsnjutare finns det gott om bland öborna. Det kan vara folklivet. Alla de som strosar omkring i staden innanför murarna. Är det naturen med det öppna och inbjudande landskapet? En alldeles speciell ö hälsar dig välkommen till upptäckter och utforskning. Eller bara till vila. Här är avstånden aldrig långa – mellan norr och söder, öst och väst, stad och land.Hitta resa
