About Uppsala
Home to a number of beautiful historic buildings, as well as ecclesiastical landmarks, this ancient city is now a vibrant metropolis.
Uppsala is the capital of Uppsala County and the fourth largest city of Sweden. The Fyris river divides the city into two parts: the historic quarter to the west of the river and the modern residential and commercial city centre to the east. The historic quarter is the site of the oldest university in Scandinavia, founded in 1477 and the 16th century Uppsala Castle. Additionally, many historic buildings remain, especially in the western part of the city, with the most outstanding building in Uppsala being the Cathedral, which is Scandinavia's largest church building. The Gustavianum, which contains several museums is another point of interest.
