Duration: 2.5 hours Location: Uppsala City Centre

Overview

Travel back in time as you take the train from Stockholm Central to Uppsala Central station! Uppsala is older than Stockholm and thus often takes the title of the true "birthplace" of the Swedish nation.

Highlights

Home to our first king's castle (a PINK castle) and his resting place, Gustav Vasa is buried in Uppsala Cathedral, one of the most beautiful and oldest cathedrals in Sweden!

Dating back all the way to the Viking days, Uppsala has uncovered one of the largest archaelogical findings of ~ 30,000 rune stones that tell the story of how the Vikings lived in their day-to-day.

And speaking of old, one of the world's oldest universities is also found here - Uppsala Universitet! Carl Linneaus, father of taxonomy - the classification of species - studied and practiced here, among the beautiful flowers of the Botanical Gardens.

Don't miss out on your chance at an incredibly breathtaking train-ride-away tour of Uppsala, given by our expert local guides! You might even get a tip or two for where to go for cheap drinks or even clubbing (another Uppsala must is its parties!) from our very funny and truly in-the-know local connoisseurs!

Book now as this experience is only offered May through September, given the seasonality of the Uppsala's natural landscapes!
