Between the ring wall and the sea lies Visby Botanical Garden, established in 1855 by the society De Badande Wännerna. The garden was created to awaken interest in nature and cultivation, and for many years served as both a commercial nursery and a place for teaching. With its blooming flowerbeds, unusual plants, and peaceful pathways, it has since become one of Visby's most cherished walking spots.

Donnersporten connects Donners plats with Almedalen and is one of the most frequented openings in Visby's city wall. The gate was probably erected in the early 19th century in a place where the city wall had previously run unbroken since the Middle Ages. It is often confused with the older Stora Strandporten, which was located further south and no longer exists. Today, Donnersporten forms a natural passage between the city centre and the sea.

At Stora torget lies Gutekällaren, housed in a block where parts of the medieval walls are still preserved in the cellar vaults. Trade and craftsmanship were carried out here for several hundred years before the first restaurant opened in the 1920s. Over time, the place has developed into one of Visby's most well-known entertainment districts, where historic stone vaults meet restaurants, music, and lively crowds.

Kruttornet (the Powder Tower) is the oldest tower of the ring wall and one of Visby's oldest preserved buildings. It was erected as early as the 12th century as a defensive tower to protect the northern part of the then-harbor, today's Almedalen. Over the centuries, the 25-meter-high tower has served several functions, including as a prison. It only received its current name in the 18th century when the building was used to store gunpowder.

The city wall has embraced Visby since the 13th century and is today one of Europe's best-preserved medieval city walls. The almost 3.5-kilometer-long wall was built to protect the wealthy trading city and was successively reinforced with more towers and gates. Since 1805, the city wall has been protected as a cultural heritage site, and in 1995, it was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List.

Strykjärnet (The Iron) is one of Visby's most well-known houses and gets its nickname from its pointed shape, which resembles an old-fashioned clothes iron. The building was erected around 1750 and has been used for crafts, trade, and café operations throughout the centuries. The name became well-known when Café Strykjärnet opened here in the 1930s, and since then, the house has been a natural eye-catcher for both Visby residents and visitors.

Visby Cathedral, Saint Mary, began to be built around 1170 for the German merchants who visited the flourishing Hanseatic city. Unlike Visby's other medieval churches, it survived both the Reformation and the changes of time, while the others became ruins. In 1572, it became a cathedral, and its characteristic towers have since been one of Visby's most well-known landmarks.

Author Anna Jansson was born in Visby, where many of her most beloved stories take place. Through her crime series about Detective Inspector Maria Wern, she has made Visby's alleyways, coastal landscapes, and Gotlandic environments an integral part of the plot. Her books have made Gotland one of Sweden's most well-known crime novel settings, attracting readers from all over the country to the island.

Few people are as strongly associated with Gotland as Ingmar Bergman. The world-renowned director settled on Fårö, where he created several of his most acclaimed films. The rugged landscape, the light, and the sea became an important part of his artistic expression, and to this day, Bergman's legacy attracts film enthusiasts from all over the world to the island.

For many years, Lasse Åberg has had a close relationship with Gotland, where the island has become a place for both creation and relaxation. With his distinctive humor, curiosity, and creativity, he has become one of Sweden's most beloved cultural personalities. For many, he is primarily associated with the Stig-Helmer films, which have become an integral part of Swedish film history.

Pugh Rogefeldt is considered one of the pioneers of Swedish rock music. For many years, he lived and worked on Gotland, where the island's tranquility and distinctive landscape became an important part of his life. With songs like Små lätta moln (Small Light Clouds) and Här kommer natten (Here Comes the Night), he left his mark on Swedish music history and became one of the country's most beloved artists.
