4. Visby, Sweden
This August, pack your bags and head to possibly the best-preserved medieval city in Scandinavia. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Hanseatic town of Visby is a trip back in time. Apart from loads of history and several church ruins, a maze of cobbled alleys, markets, and ancient walls, there’s another reason for thousands of tourists to head to Visby every August.
Every year, in the month of August, Visby celebrates the 7-day-long festival of Medeltidsveckan which is the largest festival in the world that celebrates Middle Ages. An unparalleled cultural experience, the festival is an answer to your question where to travel in august.
