THE ISLAND OF GOTLAND

The island of Gotland is in the middle of the Baltic Sea roughly 55 miles from the Swedish mainland. Gotland has served as the natural hub of trade across the Baltic Sea for many centuries. The climate is mild with four distinct seasons and the countryside is extremely varied from desolate heaths, lush meadows, spectacular cliffs to sandy beaches that are perfect for bathing.
