Uppsala guide
About me
I inspire new possibilities to deepen love, intimacy and self-expression. I mainly write articles about that, but you'll also find refrences on design, fitness and finance. More
I really like Uppsala. It's a historic university town. It's not that big but it has most of what you'd want in a city.
Photos from around the city.
Activities
Botanical gardens 4/5
Villavägen 6
Nice place for a walk. Interesting if you’re into unusual (but not very exotic) plants. Calmer than the Stadsträdgården. Has open outside area and inside area.
Gustavianum /5
Akademigatan 3
Museum.
Linnaeus garden 3/5
Svartbäcksgatan 27
A pretty garden with a few exhibitions and a Linnaeus gift shop.
Food
Café Tar /5
Sysslomansgatan 9
Italian-style café with coffee, sandwitches, pastries and ice cream. Average.
Los Vegos 3/5
Svartbäcksgatan 21
Vegan food place. Bigger but simpler than Veganos, less to choose from. Small portions but tastes good.
Vegano's 5/5
Svartbäcksgatan 19
Great food, all vegan, and they have pastries too.
Parksnäckan 3/5
Stadsträdgården
This is a café in the middle of their main park. Not a lot of space to sit down, it’s mainly focused on ice cream summertime. But they have simple foods and vegan options.
Café Kardemumma 2/5
Svartbäcksgatan 17
Big, fancier café next to the public library. Not vegan-friendly.
One Coffee 2/5
Svartbäcksgatan 17
Used to be a Wayne’s Coffee. Near the station. Good prices. Would say good to sit down with a laptop but the wifi is incredibly slow.
Meza /5
Östra Ågatan 11
Libanese food. One of the more popular choices for vegan food.
Arrenius & Company 3/5
Drottninggatan 6A
Small café but excellent for a short stop or coffee to go.
Shopping
Seriezonen 4/5
Drottninggatan 8
Small but great place if you like comics, mangas and graphic novels.
English Bookshop 4/5
Svartbäcksgatan 19
If you like books, this is the place to go. Packed with books of all genres and rather big.
Prisfyndet /5
Kungsgatan 39
Bigger than Seriezonen and more emphasis on board games and card games. Has comics, mangas and graphic novels.
Architecture
Uppsala cathedral 3/5
Domkyrkoplan
What you’d expect from a 800 year old cathedral. Nice if you’re sightseeing.
Gamla Uppsala /5
Gamla Uppsalagatan
The old town, located a bit away from the modern center.
Uppsala Castle 2/5
Drottning Christinas väg 1E
Doesn’t look like a castle. Boring. And inside is a small museum of modern art.
Uppsala Konsert & Kongress /5
Vaksalagatan 1
Once of the most praised contemporary buildings in Sweden.
Uppsala Entré 2/5
Stationsgatan 36
Contemporary architecture, but nothing special.
Skandion Clinic 2/5
von Kraemers Allé 26
Contemporary architecture, but nothing special.
Carolina Rediviva 3/5
Dag Hammarskjölds Väg 1
The Uppsala university library.
Uppsala University 3/5

This is the main building. Try to see the inside.
