I WALKED INTO VISBY’S PRETTIEST ALLEY… THEN GOT COMPLETELY LOST IN HISTORY!

This is not your grandma’s day trip. This is VISBY — with vegan tacos, Viking towers, and drag queen drama on the medieval wall. 🌊🍦🌮💅

I’m Joakim Clifton Bergman — content creator, vlogger, and passionate explorer of magic in everyday places. In Part 3 of my Birka Gotland series, I disembark into the heart of Visby, Gotland’s crown jewel. This city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and once you step inside its 3.4 km medieval ring wall, you’re stepping into another century. 🏰

We start at Österport, the eastern gate to the city — built in the 13th century, it served as a fortified entryway and now welcomes travellers like us with open stone arms. From there, I meander (as always) in search of food. But first — Visby Cathedral (S:ta Maria Domkyrka): built in 1225 by German merchants and still active today, with warm sandstone towers and a view that steals your breath.



Next: lunch at Mirells, a vegan-friendly gem where I indulge in a plant-based Mexican feast bursting with color 🌮🌶️. Meanwhile, Magnus takes a detour for meat elsewhere — it’s all part of the drama! He rejoins me for dessert: two scoops of delicious vegan sorbet at Gute Glass, a local favorite. 🍨

We make our way to Sankta Karins kyrkoruin, an open-air gothic dream built by Franciscan monks in the 13th century. Towering arches, ivy-clad walls, and ghostly echoes await 👻. Then: the Visby Domkyrka, glowing with stained glass and spiritual gravitas. It's not just a cathedral — it’s a sanctuary of stories. ✨

We detour through modern Visby to visit actor Isak Bendelin, who now slings bottles with flair at Systembolaget. 💁‍♂️🎭💥 Back in time again, we explore Kvarntornet (grindstone glory), Skolporten (where knowledge once flowed), Tjärkokeriet (a place once used to boil tar), and the magnificent Stor Cristin, the largest of Visby’s towers, standing proud and tall like a gothic Beyoncé.

This is not just travel — it’s theatre. Stay tuned for Part 4, as we continue the cruise and uncover even more Visby gems.

Inside the Most Fabulous Cruise Nightclub on the Baltic Sea 🌊✨ (You Won’...

You’ve NEVER seen a cruise nightclub like this before! 🎤👠🌊

Come aboard the BIRKA GOTLAND with me and my fabulous friend Magnus as we close out an unforgettable day cruising the Baltic Sea from Stockholm to Visby. This video is the glitter-drenched grand finale 🎭—and darling, it’s not to be missed.

🌟 What Happens in This Episode:
After a day of island adventures and Baltic breezes, we step into the ship's onboard nightclub, where the entertainment is nothing short of iconic. We’re talking powerhouse tributes to Queen, Whitney Houston, and Boney M, all delivered with feathered flair and sequinned sass. 💃🏻🪩🎤

There’s disco. There’s drama. There’s a cheeky little “Bohemian Rhapsody” moment that’ll have you lip-syncing in your seat. And of course—there’s Magnus and me, living our best theatre-nerd fantasy from the front row 🕺🏼.


🍷 After the Curtain Falls:
The show ends, but the night continues. We glide out onto the open deck where the sunset has already kissed the sea goodnight, yet the air is still warm. Lounge chairs become thrones as we sip wine, recap the show, and giggle under the stars 🌌. It's peaceful. It's slightly tipsy. It's utterly divine.

🛏️ Final Moments:
Eventually, it’s time to head back to our cabin—a snug little haven with a window to the waves. We wind down, unpack memories, and settle in for the night, grateful for friendship, theatre, and salty air.

🎬 Whether you’re a cruise dreamer, a Whitney stan, or just need a hit of feel-good vibes, this video’s got you.
