Gustavianum – Uppsala University Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

Uppsala Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

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.

Nybron Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Nybron, crossing Fyris River in central Uppsala, was first built in 1645 alongside Drottninggatan. Destroyed in the 1702 Uppsala Fire, it was replaced with a stone bridge, demolished in 1899. The current bridge, a flat roadway designed by Zakarias Larsson, was widened in 1953 and underwent lane changes in 2005, diverting much of its previous traffic.

View of the Fyrisån River

Highlight • Viewpoint

Uppland's longest river with a length of 80 km. Using several water pumps, the water is infiltrated and purified to be used as drinking water in the city of Uppsala. On the river, students from Uppsala perform a rafting race on Walpurgis Night which attracts many people from around Stockholm/Uppsala.
