About

The local business Antikvariat Drotten in Gotland is a bookshop at S:t Hansgatan 29, 621 56 Visby, Sweden, in the island's main town.

Visitors give Antikvariat Drotten a 4.5 out of 5 average across 65 reviews, a strong showing for a bookshop. The shop sits in Visby, the island's largest settlement and the usual arrival point for ferries and domestic flights. Hemse, Slite and Klintehamn are among the other places on Gotland that frame a visit to this part of the island. Five photographs accompany the listing, and a website at http://www.drotten.se/ covers the shop.

Opening hours run from 13:00 to 17:00 on Friday and from 10:00 to 14:00 on Saturday, so a visit fits around a weekend in Visby. The five photographs on the listing give a sense of the shelves before a stop.

Gotland sits in the Baltic with cool summers and cold, dark winters, and the Gulf Stream keeps coastal waters milder than the latitude suggests. White-tailed eagles, puffins, guillemots and otters live around Scandinavian islands and coastal waters, so a coastal walk can turn up wildlife. Stockfish and clipfish, dried and salted cod, are produced in the Lofoten Islands and exported south, a reminder of how much of Scandinavian island life has always come from the sea. Southern islands such as Gotland do not see the midnight sun or polar night that northern Scandinavia experiences.
