Uppsala and Sigtuna lie just north of Stockholm and make for a perfect day trip or a longer stay.
Gothic Uppsala Domkyrka, or Uppsala Cathedral. Inaugurated in 1435, Gothic re-styled in the 19th century, it is a must-see/do in Uppsala. Gamla (Old) Uppsala, just north of the city, boasts impressive 6th-century burial mounds and in its museum, you can learn about the legend of the Svea kings and gory human sacrifices.
Another ‘must’ in Uppsala is Carl von Linné, Sweden’s greatest ever scientist and father of modern taxonomy.
For the low down on Sigtuna’s history visit Sigtuna Museum for its brilliant exhibitions and displays. For some ancient Viking detective work, pop in to the museum or Tourist Office on Stora gatan and ask for a futhark, or key. This will help you unlock the mysteries of the town’s more than 150 rune stones. Careful how you pronounce futhark though.
