Where to Rent a Bike and Camp in Gotland??

[Gina P]

Hello Fellow Adventurers,

Where is a good place to rent a bike and camp or rent a cabin/cottage in Gotland?

I have 5 days to spend and I want to tour the island. I am also looking to make it an inexpensive trip. That is why I have camping gear.


Thank you for your time!

Gina

Hello!
In Visby, where you will arrive with the ferry, there are some bike rentals, close to the harbor. If you got a tent, there are lots of good places to camp, alone in the "bush" or at big camps. Buy a good map, collect some information in your language (from internet) and keep close to the sea. You vill love it.
Its possible to catch a bus just to get a little bit further. I prefer the north of Gotland!

The short answer is "anywhere".

Save it was 15+ years since I was there, and we had our own bikes, but on the way out from Visy we passed at least 5 places renting bikes. Some places also rent a full camping package (tent, sleeping mats etc) but I think that becomes more expensive.
