Visby Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels
Visby Airport is about 4.4 km from the centre: bus line 1 reaches the city in 7 minutes, the Flygbussarna in 15-20 minutes for 35 kronor, a taxi in 5-10 minutes for 200-250 kronor. With such a short transfer, almost anyone can head straight for Visby's walled medieval centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where the island's only hotel-category properties listed on Booking are also found.
