Uppsala slow tour
Enjoy a coffee break (fika) while watching the world go by. Have an interesting discussion with a “local”. Browse among the books in the bookshop. Take time for quiet reflections in a museum. Savour the small details in the unusual.
We now offer the best of a guided tour, with the feeling of travelling independently.
Morning coffee break in the Linnaeus Garden. Stroll through a world of botany. Undisturbed. Outside this secluded garden Uppsala begins to awaken, but the birds take no notice. The bumble bees seek out nectar among the beauteous array of historical blooms. Just as they have done every summer since 1655! The gardener shares his knowledge. Linnaeus steps in and talks about himself and his scientific studies. Shows off his favourite blooms and opens up his home!
Then we wander beside the beautiful river, past the Vikings’ stones and through historic vaults. Reflecting on the magnificence of the cathedral. The stones whisper to us. Possibly accompanied by the organist. Once the impressions have crystallised, the guide brings to life the dead and explains the paintings.
Now it’s time to discover Uppsala for yourself! Find that special souvenir that no one else has seen. Maybe eat in the old student jail!
