Uppsala

- the university city

With 190,000 inhabitants, Uppsala is Sweden’s fourth largest city. Unique cultural treasures and an exciting history are to be found in the city of knowledge and inspiration. Uppsala has retained its small-town charm while offering a big city’s selection of shops, restaurants and things to do.

The Uppsala cathedral is the largest cathedral in Scandinavia. You also find the unique anatomical theatre built in the 1600’s, one of Sweden’s eldest botanical gardens, the Linnaeus Garden, Uppsala Castle dating back from the mid-1500’s and many more sites and attractions.

However, Uppsala does not only rest on its traditions. Today Uppsala is a dynamic industrial and commercial town where knowledge, ideas and entrepreneurship are at the centre. The city’s geographical location with only 30 minutes to Stockholm-Arlanda international airport and 40 minutes to Stockholm has made Uppsala an attractive place for meetings.
