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.

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

Biskopsgatan 3

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