Nestled in central Sweden lies Uppland, with its incredible nature and rich cultural life. Here you will find the popular university city of Uppsala, the former home of the world-famous botanist Carl Linnaeus.

Much of Sweden’s history can be discovered in Uppland, with its many ancient monuments and castles. The presence of the Vikings is very tangible, and at the Gamla Uppsala Museum you can travel back in time to 8th-century Viking village life through the compelling VR experience offered there. There are museums for every taste; one highlight is the Museum of Evolution, which houses the largest collection of dinosaur skeletons in the Nordic countries.

The summer paradise Roslagen offers Uppland’s beloved archipelago and the four archipelago municipalities of Vaxholm, Österåker, Norrtälje, and Östhammar. There are plenty of activities for everyone, whether you want to glide along in a kayak, hike along the Roslagsleden or Vikingaleden trails, discover new places by bike, or take a swim at one of the beautiful beaches.
