4Fårö, Sweden
For a peaceful and picturesque escape, Fårö Island, located off the northeastern coast of Sweden’s Gotland, is an under-the-radar gem. Fårö is known for its dramatic limestone rock formations, called “rauks,” which give the island a unique and rugged beauty. The island was famously home to Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, and his influence is felt in the quiet, contemplative atmosphere of the area.
Visitors to Fårö can enjoy long walks along its deserted beaches, hike through pine forests, or simply relax in one of the island’s traditional cottages.
