    Getting TO/AROUND: There are flights leaving from both Arlanda and Bromma airports in Stockholm to Visby as well as from Norrköping. The flights are operated by Skyways and the flighttime from Stockholm to Visby is about 30 mins. If you're travelling to Gotland from a foreign country you normally go to Stockholm (Arlanda airport) where you change to a flight to Visby (the flights are leaving from terminal 3). 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: The most popular way to see Gotland is to go around by bike. Bring your own bike (easy if you come to Gotland by boat) and stay in a tent or in campingplaces. It's normally also possible to hire a bike after your arrival.
    There are also some nice hostels and private owned hotels around the island.

    Transportation: To Gotland by ferry

    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.
