Ferry from Gotland to Sweden

About Gotland

Sweden’s largest island, Gotland lies in the heart of the Baltic Sea with the mainland to the west and Latvia to the east. With the most hours of annual sunshine in Sweden alongside a rich history and beautiful surroundings, Gotland has long been a popular destination in Scandinavia. Characterised by myriad church ruins and impressive fortress walls, the medieval town of Visby is the island’s hub, whilst the coastline is blessed with stunning sandy beaches. So whatever the season, Gotland has something to suit. The island is well connected with the Swedish mainland by ferry, with a couple of frequent routes departing from the port of Visby. Gotland is also a useful departure point for the Swedish capital, as the arrival port of Nynashamn lies just 58 kilometres south of Stockholm.

About Sweden

Sweden is a Scandinavian country in Northern Europe, sharing a lengthy western border with Norway and a shorter north-eastern border with Finland. One of the European leaders for quality of life, Sweden is a beautiful nation in all aspects. The diversity of magical landscapes is one of its greatest assets, stretching from the sparse and snow-filled north, inhabited by the indigenous Sami people, to the lake-speckled central region and the high-energy, fashion-inspired capital city of Stockholm in the south. A long Viking history has left its mark; ancient rune stones and huge burial mounds can be found throughout the country, all with their own fascinating story to tell, while the medieval cities and coastal castles add a further layer of mystery. Sailing to Sweden by ferry is a common choice for visitors, thanks to the huge number of routes from various countries in northern Europe and Scandinavia, all operated by a wide choice of excellent ferry companies.
