Explore Gotland by bicycle. From the harbor, the first part of the cycle route will take you to Almedalen, once the site of the Hanseatic Harbour.
See the Kruttornet -- the powder tower, which is the oldest remaining structure in Visby. Continue along Strandgatan to the lovely Botanical Gardens. Visby's mild winters allow such specimens as almond trees, magnolias and acacias to grow beside vivid displays of flowers.
Pass Maiden's Tower and bike uphill to Klinten -- a good viewpoint over the ruins of the old city, harbor and the Baltic Sea.
The route continues on a bicycle path headed south into the countryside, and the next stop will be the high cliff of Högklint, about three miles south of Visby.
Tea/coffee and local cake are served at Princess Eugenie's Summer Residence in Fridhem before you return via pedal-power to Visby and the harbor.
