It is often said to the Swedish tourist that Gotland is another country, another land or something like that. It's not only marketing, there's some truth in that. Gotland is a wonderful country which has an ancient culture and a marvelous nature wholly unigue which seperates it from Sweden and all of Europe for that matter.

Compared to northern Europe, Gotland has the highest record of sunshine days (300 hours per month), and the least number of rainy days between April and September. Autumn is usually long and warm, and the Spring days are normally dry. Every year at least a half million people visit Gotland for vacationing, bathing, partying, investigating and even painting in the wonderful light of Gotland. The island is host to a very high population of artists and craftsmen. You are welcome!
