Post-Congress Tour

Join us on an exclusive journey to the heart of Gotland from August 28–30, designed for us as CORLAS participants. The tour will offer a unique blend of history, nature, and traditional culture, ensuring an unforgettable conclusion to the conference.
Our journey begins with a bus transfer from Stockholm to Nynäshamn, where we will board the ferry to Visby. During the trip, lunch will be served.
Visby is a beautiful Hanseatic town and a UNESCO World Heritage site, due to its importance as an example of a Nordic medieval city. The town is known for its well-preserved medieval architecture which includes charming cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, and historic churches.

For two nights, we will stay at Wisby Börs Hotel, a charming and historic venue that we have rented for our group. This will be the base for our experience of Gotland together.
Our itinerary will provide insights into both Visby and Gotland as a whole.

Highlights include
- Guiding through the medieval town of Visby, exploring its ancient walls, ruins, and cobbled streets.
- Beyond Visby, we will embark on a guided exploration of Gotland’s diverse landscapes, history, and culture. This will include a cycling tour through scenic countryside and coastal routes, including Iron Age settlements and medieval landmarks.
- We will experience the region’s culinary heritage.
- Additionally, those who are so minded will have the opportunity to engage in traditional medieval sports.

We will return to Stockholm Saturday evening, ensuring that all participants have ample time to make their flights home late Saturday evening or Sunday morning.

We hope this tour will be one of the true highlights of our conference. In the true spirit of CORLAS, this journey will provide a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old colleagues and their families, as well as to forge new friendships in a relaxed and inspiring environment.

About Gotland
Gotland, Sweden’s largest island, is entirely surrounded by the Baltic Sea, shaping its striking and diverse landscape. It boasts dramatic limestone cliffs, rugged sea stacks (rauks), and vast coastal meadows. The island’s porous bedrock creates a unique, dry environment, home to sparse pine forests and vibrant wildflower fields. With Viking history, unique nature, and local delicacies, Gotland offers a perfect mix of culture and relaxation.
