Visby Botanical Garden
Getting around: Visby Botanical Garden is right within the old town, an easy walk from the harbor and most central accommodation.
Hours: Open daily, generally from early morning to evening in the warmer months, free of charge; hours are shorter in winter.
Visby Botanical Garden is a small, well-kept public garden within the town walls, notable for unusually mild microclimate plantings — including fig and mulberry trees — that thrive here thanks to Gotland's relatively mild maritime climate. It's a pleasant, low-key stop rather than a major destination, good for a short break while exploring the old town.
