This family's experience:

Activities: We explored Visby, a city with medieval alleys, an exciting ring wall, and a dose of politics. The city is walkable and full of cozy cafes and fun shops for both children and adults. The children could run around relatively unimpeded in the alleys

Highlights: The kids loved running around the city's alleys because few cars drive inside the city walls. We also visited Almedalen park to learn more about Almedalsveckan, where anyone can mingle and meet representatives of Sweden's politicians and businesses ✨
