It's starting to look like I get to go to Visby Medeltidsveckan this year! 😍 Fellow Mastodons, if you've been there, please feel free to share your best tips! Me and my companion are travelling from Turku/Åbo on a campervan.

Ja sama suomeksi, vinkkejä koskien Visbyn keskiaikafestareita ja sinne matkailuautolla matkustamista otetaan vastaan! 😊

Välkommen till Medeltidsveckan på Gotland

Medeltidsveckan är en festival som årligen anordnas under vecka 32 på Gotland sedan år 1984, och då främst i Visby men även på landsbygden. Temat utgår från den danske kung Valdemar Atterdags brandskattning av Visby år 1361, men under senare år har temat utvecklats till att inkludera även generell nordisk och europeisk medeltid.

@magdalenahai it's been 20 years since I went, so I don't have any tips. I just want to wish you a happy stray n because it's quite fun.

@magdalenahai I go there every year! 🙋🏻

Definitely visit the medieval pubs; Klosterlängan, Kapitelhusgården, Frimis / Bistra haren. Always such a lovely atmosphere.

The market is something to be experienced. I spend a lot of time just walking those streets on my first day(s) there. Special shoutout to the food market :)

And don’t miss the ocean promenade just outside the city walls. There are always people hanging out around there.

@magdalenahai And it probably goes without saying, but absolutely dress up in medieval (-ish) clothes if you can. That automatically marks you one of us nerds - and believe me, you will not be alone!

@gufo yay, thanks for the tips! I'm planning to wear something nerdish and appropriate. 😁
