Almedalen
Almedalen is a small waterfront park in Visby, best known nationally as the site of Almedalsveckan (Almedalen Week), Sweden's largest annual political gathering, held each summer since the 1960s. Outside that week, it's simply a pleasant central green space near the harbor, with easy access to the old town walls just above it.
