VIKING TOURS AND EVENTS

W ELCOME TO G OTLAND THE VIKING ISLAND !

A fascinating island in the middle of the Baltic Sea with a

unique culture and natural surroundings. Thousands of

archaeological finds tell us that Gotland was the most

important trading centre of the Viking era. From this

base the Vikings travelled all over Europe and other

parts of the world – trading and plundering.

The world’s largest silver treasure! The majority

of all the Viking silver treasures in the world have been

found on Gotland. All over the island there are ancient

monuments.

This is the place where you get to meet the

Vikings!
