There are no buses from Visby airport to the city so you have to take a taxi, the short trip (4 km) to the city center costs SEK 70-100, the taxicompanies normally have fixed prices between the airport and the city.
There are some car rental-companies at the airport too.

Getting TO/AROUND: There are ferries to Gotland from the mainland. If you're travelling from Stockholm there are ferries from Nynäshamn (1 hour south of Stockholm) to Visby, the journey takes 5-6 hours. There is one daily departure all year around and in the summer at least two daily departures and also a fast hovercraft.
There is also another connection to the city of Oskarshamn in southern Sweden, also one daily departure and some extra departures in the summer. Some of the mainbuses leave from the ferry terminal which make the ferry a good alternative even if Visby is not the final destination.
