Fårö is a small island in the Baltic Sea adjacent to Gotland and connected to it by a ferry line. It is known for its rugged landscapes, rocky coastline and its most famous inhabitant, Ingmar Bergman, who spent the last years of his life here.
There are no larger towns on the island. There are rather single houses, surrounded by vast moors, meadows and thickets. There are several guesthouses, restaurants and a campsite, as well as the Kutens Petrol music club, which in the past was an unlicensed music scene attracting hippies from all over Sweden.
The greatest fame was brought by Fårö Ingmar Bergman. The famous director not only lived here and claimed to have found a real home, but also used the harsh and fascinating landscapes in his films. Today, on the island, you can visit the Ingmar Bergaman Center connected with a small biographical museum.
The main attraction of Fårö is nature. The rocky coast, the most beautiful part of which is protected by the Langhammar reserve, moors inviting to long hikes, and historic windmills standing here and there create unforgettable landscapes. On the island you can rent sea kayaks, take advantage of numerous bicycle paths, and in summer sunbathe on the rocks by the sea.
