Merchants and Mercenaries Self Guided Tour of Visby

Despre activitate

Visby is intact because Visby died young. In the mid fourteenth century, plague, a Danish king's army, and a fleet from Lübeck struck this island city in quick succession, leaving the wall, twelve ruined churches, and cobbled streets exactly where they had stood. This self-guided audio walking tour of Visby brings that story to life on your phone, with no physical guide and no fixed start time.

Walk the Ringmuren, three kilometres of medieval wall, and discover why it was built against fellow Gotlanders, not foreign invaders. Hear about a friar who bought two harbour properties to expand his choir, a boy in chainmail at the foot of the wall, and a silver coin reading 'Moses is the messenger of God' dug up beneath a Gotlandic farmhouse.

If you want to pause for photos, sit beside a ruin, or stop for coffee without being rushed, this Visby walking tour fits you. Over 20,000 travelers have used your self-guided tours, and this one comes with a full refund guarantee.
