In 1940 the chapel underwent a thorough renovation. The large altar window was re-set and the interior was largely replaced.

If you're the type of traveler who needs to see a city's best attraction immediately, head first to the Uppsala Cathedral (Uppsala domkyrka). Built around 1270 and consecrated in 1435, this magnificent building is the city's most distinctive landmark, and among the best tourist attractions in all of Sweden .

The cathedral has evolved and been altered numerous times throughout the centuries, including a major renovation between 1885 and 1893 in neo-Gothic style. This extensive remodeling involved the addition of its twin tall-pointed spires, stained-glass windows, and beautiful murals.

Note the sumptuous Baroque pulpit , carved in 1707 by Burchard Precht to the design of Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. At the east end of the choir are the burial chapel and tomb of King Gustavus Adolphus, dating from 1576. Also buried in the cathedral are Carl von Linné (Linnaeus), Archbishop Nathan Söderblom, and the philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg.

In the Silver Chamber , among other treasures, you'll find the gilded reliquary of King Eric IX (St. Eric), who was killed by the Danes in 1160. A gold brocade robe (c. 1400) that belonged to Queen Margaret, ruler of the united kingdoms of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, tops the collection in the north tower.

English language tours are available, and attending mass or one of the regular choral concerts or organ recitals held here is a wonderful way to soak up the rich historic ambience. A café and shop are located on-site.

Address: Domkyrkoplan, 753 10 Uppsala

To walk through the historic Uppsala University (Uppsala universitet) is to steep oneself in the illustrious world of Swedish academia. The so-called "new" university buildings were constructed in sumptuous Roman-Renaissance style between 1879 and 1886.

Grandeur is the order of the day, with the magnificent foyer leading to the grand auditorium and festival hall , which seats around 1,800 people. Portraits featuring royalty, distinguished university professors, and cultural figures adorn the walls. A must-see is the Museum of Evolution , which includes dinosaurs discovered in China.

Another interesting place to visit is the University Library (Carolina Rediviva), the largest in Sweden, housing in excess of 5,000,000 volumes and more than 30,000 manuscripts. The library's greatest treasure, and on permanent exhibition, is the world-famous Codex Argenteus (Silver Bible), most likely dating from the 6th century. Guided tours of the university are available.

Address: Biskopsgatan 375105, Uppsala

Overlooking the city, Uppsala Castle (Uppsala slott , is the official residence of the County Governor and boasts a rich history. Many of the events that shaped Sweden took place here. In 1567, a deranged and paranoid King Eric XIV ordered the execution of a group of noblemen in what became known as the Sture murders .

In 1654, the shocking abdication of Queen Kristina , as famously played by Greta Garbo in the Hollywood movie of the same name (although anglicized to Queen Christina), was announced in the Rikshallen (Hall of State).

Inside are the impressive art exhibitions of the Uppsala Konstmuseum (Art Museum), and you can enjoy breathtaking views over Uppsala and the surrounding countryside from the battlements. Outside, you can stroll around the walking paths and explore the Botanical Gardens opposite the castle.

Address: Slottet, 752 37 Uppsala

Roughly four kilometers north of Uppsala lies Gamla Uppsala (Old Uppsala), where the land of the Vikings awaits. Spread across the landscape are more than 300 burial mounds, the last resting place of Viking Kings, Queens, and heroes of old. When Christianity took hold in the 12th century, Gamla Uppsala eventually boasted a cathedral on the site where the ancient church ( Gamla Uppsala Kyrka ) now stands.

Legends aplenty are to be found here, and the Gamla Uppsala Museum (Riksantikvarieämbetet Gamla) is a must before further exploration. If you're interested in history and archaeology, the four-kilometer bus journey, or six-kilometer " Pilgrim's Walk " from the cathedral (Domkyrka), is well worth the effort.

Address: Disavägen, 754 40 Uppsala, Sweden

Gamla Uppsala Museum (Riksantikvarieämbetet Gamla) is a must-visit museum that's in perfect harmony with its surroundings, its dome shape reflecting the Viking burial mounds dotted across the landscape. Here, you can learn of Viking myths, legends, and culture, while viewing fascinating artifacts uncovered from the surrounding archaeological site.

The excellent timeline is a great way of getting to grips with this particular slice of Nordic history, and its eventual demise with the establishment of Christianity in the 12th century. This is an attraction for all the family and well worth a short bus ride from Uppsala town center. English-language guided tours can be booked in advance.

Address: Disavägen 15, 754 40 Uppsala

From the Stora Torg , Svartbäcksgatan runs northwest to the Linnaeus Garden (Linnéträdgården), which was curated by world-famous botanist Carl Linnaeus (Carl von Linné). Here, you'll find the Linnaeus Museum , which was once his home.

Throughout the house are exhibitions dedicated to Linnaeus' scientific achievements as well as personal belongings, mementos, furniture, and household items gathered over a lifetime. Run since 1937 by the Linnaeus Society, this is a wonderfully maintained shrine to Linnaeus, his life, and the extraordinary time of enlightenment and discovery in which he lived. Make sure to leave time for a stroll through the magnificent gardens.

Tip: The garden is open from the beginning of May through September, but the museum is open year-round for those who pre-book a tour.

Address: Svartbäcksgatan 27, 75145, Uppsala

Steps away from the cathedral, the attractive Holy Trinity Church (Helga Trefaldighets Kyrka) was inaugurated in 1302. Although this is a medieval place of worship, the pulpit, pews, and three stained-glass windows in the chancel date from 1904 to 1905 when substantial renovations took place.

Drawing visitors from across the globe are the murals , dating back to the Middle Ages, many of which are by the famous medieval painter, Albertus Pictor (Albert the Painter). Although German by birth, Pictor settled in Sweden where his work became renowned and much in demand throughout the country.

Address: Nathan Söderbloms plan, 753 10 Uppsala

Few nations do outdoor living as well as the Swedes. Indeed, they tend to live outdoors as much as possible once the brilliant Scandinavian sunshine dismisses the grey of winter. Uppsala's City Park ( Stadsträdgården ) was developed in the late 19th century and is a tranquil oasis in which to unwind.

Take a stroll through the trees; settle in for a picnic; stop to admire the magnificent flowers, which bloom through spring and summer; or preferably do all three. In the midst of a lily pond is the "Island of Bliss " (Lycksalighetens ö), where visitors can take the weight off and admire the replica of botanist Carl Linnaeus' work table and chair . There's plenty for families to enjoy, such as a playground , summer café, and open-air theater .

Address: 753 09 Uppsala, Sweden

Housed in an old mill and dating from the 1760s, Uppland County Museum (Upplandsmuseet) provides insights into the culture, craftsmanship , and history that shaped this unique part of Sweden. The mill is also famous for being featured in the 1982 Ingmar Bergman movie Fanny and Alexander .

The museum dates from 1909 and houses a wide range of permanent and temporary exhibitions such as photography, arts and crafts, music, and folklore. Facilities include a children's corner, café, and gift shop.

Address: St. Eriks Torg 10, 75310, Uppsala

The quirky, colorful, and utterly unique works of modernist sculptor and painter Bror Hjorth (1894-1968) pop out at you in this charming museum. Opened to the public in 1978, Bror Hjorths House is, obviously, the artist's former home and studio, where he lived out his final decades.

The sculptures, paintings, drawings, and sketches here comprise the largest collection of his works and reflect his strong roots in folk art. Temporary exhibitions are on display in a new wing. After admiring all the artwork, you can purchase a coffee in the café and relax in the gardens.

If you're a fan of his art, check out his six-meter-high statue, Näckens polska , outside Uppsala Central Station, which features a young couple dancing among flowers while Näcken plays his fiddle.

The house is open year-round from Thursday through Sunday but closed on various holidays.

Address: Norbyvägen 26, 752 39 Uppsala

Located on the shore of Lake Mälaren , in the Uppland , about a 30-minute drive from Uppsala, the quaint village of Sigtuna provides a picture-postcard look at a typical Swedish village. Sigtuna is Sweden's oldest surviving town, and you can see rune stones and the remains of ancient churches around town.

Popular things to do here include browsing the boutiques and craft shops at Stora Gatan , strolling along the Sigtuna Boardwalk , and exploring old Viking sites and the ruins of St. Olaf's Church .

Uppsala's top attractions lie predominantly in the city center, within walking distance of each other, and this is the best place to stay. As is typical in Sweden, most hotels are mid-range in price.

• A great option here is the boutique Grand Hotell Hörnan , overlooking the Fyris River. This charming family-run hotel is only a seven-minute walk from the cathedral and features modern guest rooms in an elegant, old building.
• Opposite Uppsala Central train station, and a 15-minute walk to the cathedral, the modern Radisson Blu Hotel Uppsala has a fitness center and sauna. Rooms are well-appointed and relatively spacious.

That and more. If transported we travel out to, among other things, take a look on the outside of a local sanitarium for the insane Ulleråker. Here you could get locked up for various different reasons, and if you where unlucky enough also get lobotomized or sterilized in there. To book and read more see
