Parks and Gardens

Visby’s green spaces blend medieval history with diverse horticulture. The DBW’s Botanical Garden features exotic species protected by the city’s mild coastal climate, while Almedalen marks the site of the original medieval harbor. Surrounding the UNESCO-listed city walls, the expansive moats of Östergravar and Nordergravar provide preserved defensive landscapes. This selection includes historic squares like Packhusplan and the Valdemarskorset memorial, reflecting Visby’s transition from a Hanseatic trading hub to a modern cultural center.
