Visby, Sweden Day 12

" Visby is a town on the Swedish island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea. It is known for its well- preserved town wall, a medieval fortification incorporating defensive towers. The town's many churches include the grand, centuries old St Mary's Cathedral and  the medieval ruins of St Nicolai and St Karin. The main square, Stora Torget, has cobblestone streets lined with cafes and restaurants"

A beautiful 'though cold morning for our visit to Visby, Sweden today. The port was near enough for us to walk into the town, along tree-lined cobbled streets. It was so quiet when we got to the centre, too early for anywhere to be open or for people to be up and about. It IS Saturday....

We enjoyed amazing views across the bay from the hill behind the cathedral and appreciated the mix of old and new architecture in this beautiful town. 

We then walked through an archway in the wall into the modern part of the town, and soon turned round again...and had a hot chocolate drink in a delightful cafe.
