Uppsala

The university city of Uppsala lies in the heart of Sweden, 40 minutes from Stockholm and 20 minutes from Arlanda International Airport. Uppsala is Sweden’s fourth largest city. Unique cultural treasures and an exciting history are to be found in the city of knowledge and inspiration. Uppsala has retained its small-town charm while offering a big city’s selection of shops, restaurants, and things to do. The Fyris river (Fyrisån) neatly divides the city into two different parts: the historic quarter to the west of the river and the administrative, residential and commercial area to the east. Most of the features of interest are in the western part, dominated by the cathedral, and with its old streets, river views and parks
