Uppsala, a city of 175,000 inhabitants, is Sweden's fourth-largest metropolitan area. It can be wonderfully viewed from the hill in the city center where Gustav Vasa built his castle in 1549. It has been the ecclesiastical center of Sweden since 1164 and is the seat of the Archbishop of the Church of Sweden. The university, founded in 1477, is the oldest university in Scandinavia. The cityscape is still defined by the Fyrisån River, the cathedral, and the castle. Uppsala is rich in historical buildings but also has some very modern areas.

Here you have a fantastic view over the city. Don't forget your camera!

The Gothic Uppsala Cathedral (Uppsala Domkyrka), consecrated in 1435, is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Uppsala, the parish church of the Uppsala Cathedral parish, and a national shrine of the Church of Sweden. It houses the relics of Sweden's national saint, Saint Erik, and a relic of Saint Bridget. The church is traditionally the coronation and burial church for Swedish kings and queens. Following a fire in the former cathedral (in Gamla Uppsala), the Pope granted permission in 1258 to move the bishopric to present-day Uppsala (then Östra Aros). The move to Domberget took place in 1273. Initially, the existing Saint Erik Chapel was used for services while French builders, under the direction of Etienne de Bonneuil, began constructing a new cathedral. The construction would continue for over a century and a half. The cathedral's towers are the tallest church towers in Scandinavia, reaching 118.7 meters. The most powerful of its five church bells, called Storan, weighs 7,360 kilograms, making it Sweden's largest church bell. The Church of Sweden estimates that around half a million people visit Uppsala Cathedral each year.

The Church of the Holy Trinity (Helga Trefaldigets kyrka), immediately south of the cathedral, is probably the third church building on this site. The oldest part is the sacristy, which was added to an older wooden church at the end of the 13th century. In the 14th century, the present three-aisled basilica was built, with the lower part constructed of grey stone and the upper part of brick. At the end of the Middle Ages, perhaps in the 15th century, the sturdy but short church tower was erected. On the south side of the tower is an elaborately restored medieval sundial, which displays Swedish Standard Time (winter time). The rectory next to the church is a converted medieval tithe barn.

A unique feature of this building is the medical lecture hall, the "Anatomical Theater" (Theatrum anatomicum). The dome in the center of the building was constructed between 1662 and 1663. Medical professor Olof Rudbeck the Elder intended to perform dissections here before an audience of colleagues and students. The Anatomical Theater rises above the other roofs of the Gustavianum, allowing ample light to enter through its many windows. Its basic structure is modeled on the classical Greek amphitheater, but it is built at a significantly steeper angle and offers only standing room for spectators, enabling them to get as close as possible. The theater could accommodate 200 spectators. Rudbeck's lecture hall was long considered the most important theater of its kind in Europe. The hall still exists and is occasionally used for concerts, lectures, or other events.

The Gustavianum is the oldest surviving building of Uppsala University. It has housed the University Museum since 1997. After a five-year renovation, it reopened on June 24, 2024. Construction of this new, larger building, intended to supplement the teaching facilities of the Academia Carolina, began in 1622. It contained lecture halls, a printing press, a student dining room, student dormitories, and later, a library. With the demolition of the old Academia Carolina in 1778, the Gustavianum became the university's main building until the new university building was constructed in 1887.

Helga Trefaldighet Church (Holy Trinity Church) was consecrated in 1302. It replaced the previous church of the Ullerås parish. Built of gray stone and brick, the church was originally a three-aisled basilica. The west tower was added in the 15th century. In 1702, the church was severely damaged by fire. The interior is particularly remarkable. It is decorated with paintings by the famous medieval artist Albertus Pictor from the second half of the 15th century. Of particular interest is the depiction of the Visitation, considered one of the most beautiful surviving medieval paintings in Sweden.
