Uppsala is a town with a living history in which Old Uppsala (Gamla Uppsala) was the focal point of the Kingdom of the Swedes. Uppland, the province in which Uppsala is located, is surrounded by fields, forests and lakes, providing many opportunities for relaxing bike rides and strolls. Among Uppland's attractions is Roslagen, where you can experience idyllic small towns, go on boat trips along a unique coastline and swim in the sea. Also in Uppland is the Walloon Ironworks in which you will experience a well-preserved cultural environment that many architects try to imitate or recreate.
