Duration

90 minutes

Visit the Nordic region's largest cathedral with an authorized cathedral guide on an exclusive private tour. Avoid the large groups at the public tours and join intimately only you and your guide.

Take the opportunity to book this private walk inside Uppsala Cathedral where you get a deep dive into the cathedral's exciting history and discover hidden secrets. With your guide, you get your own tour of one of the Nordic region's coolest buildings from the 13th century. A place where many kings, queens, medieval saints, and other exciting personalities have been buried.

Take the unique opportunity to explore the cathedral's hidden secrets hidden in various altar cabinets, wall hangings, tombstones, shrines and more. Explore a well-chosen crowd of exciting human destinies waiting to have their story told.

Gathering and start outside Uppsala Cathedral by the benches next to the main entrance. If the time or date does not fit, send an email for a request for a time that suits you to info@swedenhistorytours.se

IMPORTANT; Note that the cathedral's normal activities take place at the same time, so as far as possible the tour is adapted to the conditions prevailing in the cathedral where certain choirs etc. may be closed for activities. I have chosen these times in consultation with the staff in the cathedral because there are few other activities same time, but this is no guarantee that we will have access to the entire cathedral.

I can also suggest an alternative time when some activities are going on in the cathedral after double checking with the cathedral staff. However, the entire cathedral is rarely closed. I will contact the cathedral to see if activities etc. are going on or not at a booking and get back to you if that is the case. The guide tour takes place both inside and outside the cathedral. At least two people need to book for this tour.
