Introducing Uppsala
There's something of a small, green Amsterdam feel about Uppsala, Sweden's fourth-largest city and one of the oldest - perhaps it's the tranquil waterways, streams of bicycles and young studenty population. Don't miss the spectacular cathedral, dating back to the 15th century, and the Renaissance castle with its impressive history. On the edge of the city, Gamla (Old) Uppsala was once a flourishing 6th-century religious centre where humans were sacrificed to the Norse gods.
