About Uppsala
Less than 1 hour from Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, you find Uppsala, the 4th largest city in Sweden. Reaching Uppsala from Europe and the rest of the world is easy as there are frequent bus and train services from the international airport Arlanda.
For more than 500 years, Uppsala has provided an inspiring environment for the advancement of science, literature and art. Carolus Linnaeus, Ingmar Bergman and Dag Hammarsköld are among those who have lived and worked here. Uppsala University was founded in 1477, and the beautiful Main Building, was built in 1887. Today Uppsala University has more than 30.000 registered students. In addition, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences also resides in Uppsala.
Also, when in Uppsala, take the opportunity to visit the Dome of Uppsala, the largest cathedral in Scandinavia. It was inaugurated in 1435 and provides a very impressive example of gothic architecture. Other sights are the Museum Gustavianum with its Anatomical Theatre and the art cabinet of Augsburg, the University Library Carolina Rediviva with the Silver Bible, and the Linnaeus Garden. Uppsala Castle, as well as the burial mounds of pagan kings at Old Uppsala both held dramatic events in their past.
