14 days in Uppsala Itinerary

Dominated by two major universities, Uppsala serves as Scandinavia's oldest center of higher education.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Fjallnora Friluftsomrade and Hemlingby friluftsomrade. Get out of town with these interesting Uppsala side-trips: Enkoping (Varfrukyrkan, Hjalstaviken Naturreservat, &more), Vasteras (Kyrkbacken & Djakneberget) and Gavle (Bonan Fiskelage, Moose Park Kybacka, &more). Spend the 13th (Sun) wandering through the wild on Wild Sweden. Next up on the itinerary: identify plant and animal life at Halleskogsbrannans Naturreservat, get engrossed in the history at Vasaborgen Uppsala Slott, take in nature's colorful creations at Pelle Svanslos lekplats, and pause for some serene contemplation at Helga Trefaldighets kyrka.
