Rent a car in Visby with Europcar
Visby is located on the west coast of the island of Gotland, about 86 km from the mainland in Sweden. "The city of roses," which is the largest island in the Baltic Sea, is an idyllic place for party lovers, families on vacation, and those seeking tranquility. The medieval city is a wonder for all the senses. It is one of Sweden's most popular tourist attractions and offers a wide range of activities. Visby is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in all of Scandinavia and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1995. You can stroll among the cobblestone streets, explore the beautiful Gothic churches, and walk along the fortification walls that surround the old part of the city.
Driving is the perfect way to discover the island of Gotland, with Visby as the perfect starting point for short or long road trips on the island. Visit Sankta Maria Church, a church built in the latter part of the 12th century, or discover the Gotland Museum, which is one of the best regional museums in Sweden. If you come in August, you can visit the annual medieval festival and its activities, which include a medieval market, theater, and even jousting!

Driving in Visby
Visby is a small town, so it's quite easy to drive around, but in the summer during peak season, it gets a bit narrow and crowded.
Note that the speed limits are: 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on highways, and 110 km/h on motorways.
Don't forget to always turn on the dipped headlights and give way to pedestrians!
Discover Visby and its surroundings by car
Hop in the car and head north on road 149 from Visby. Drive along the west coast for about 30 minutes, and you will reach a beautiful fishing village called Lickershamn. The beach and the impressive cliffs overlooking the chilly waters of the Baltic Sea are a delight, and the drive here is a highlight in itself. Find the path that leads to the famous sea stack, also known as the Maiden, and once you're there, close your eyes and just listen to the sea!
You can also drive to the southwestern coast of Gotland, where you will find Närsholmen, just about 60 km from Visby. Welcome to the Swedish savannah! This nature reserve, established in 1986, is home to about 45 species, beautiful birds, and orchids. As summer fades into autumn, this place is covered in viper's bugloss.
Fårö
Fårö is an idyllic island in the Baltic Sea located north of Gotland. If you are staying in Visby and on Gotland, you must go to Fårö.
