Package holiday to Uppsala

Uppsala is Sweden's fourth largest city and a vibrant university center with a history dating back to the Viking Age. Just 40 minutes by train from Stockholm, Uppsala combines academic excellence — the university was founded in 1477 and is the oldest in Scandinavia — with medieval architecture and a surprisingly dynamic cultural scene.

The Gothic cathedral of Uppsala is the tallest church in Scandinavia at 119 meters and houses the graves of Swedish kings and the naturalist Carl von Linné. Uppsala Castle, an impressive Renaissance building on the hill overlooking the city, offers panoramic views and houses an art museum. The Linnaeus Botanical Garden, where the famous scientist once conducted research, is a green oasis in the heart of the city.

Old Uppsala, just a few kilometers to the north, is one of the most important archaeological sites in Scandinavia — here lie the royal burial mounds from the 5th-6th century, and the Gamla Uppsala Museum tells the story of the Vikings and Norse mythology.

Uppsala is a perfect day trip from Stockholm — or a standalone destination for anyone wanting to experience Scandinavian history and student life.

Uppsala particularly impresses with fascinating culture. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
