Trip to Gamla Uppsala

Hello,

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and in this post I would like to share my recommendation for a trip.

If you are looking for a trip in Uppsala surroundings, you should go to Gamla Uppsala. It will take you less than 20 minutes on the bike to get there from the centre (you can take a bus, as well) and it is really worth visiting. I was there in the beginning of September and it enchanted me with its peacefulness and beauty.

Gamla Uppsala is a village outside Uppsala and it is one of the most important historic sites in Sweden. From the path that runs through the site you can admire royal burial mounds which are the graves from the sixth century A.D.

You can find there Gamla Uppsala Museum, which I have not visited, where you can learn more about history of this place. Due to beautiful weather it was that day, I preferred to admire nature beauties instead (and I am not so much into history, either :D).

Tip: I met a guy there who advised me to download “Gamla Uppsala” app (I do not know the name of it) where you can observe how the site looked like many years ago. As I was already leaving, I did not do so, but for the next time I will be prepared.

You can see Uppsala Cathedral and Uppsala Castle in the distance

If you decide to go there, let me know how you liked it 🙂

Bye,

Densia
