⚠️Tips & warnings
Old Uppsala's mounds and museum tell pre-Christian Sweden — pair with the cathedral for 'a millennium in eight hours'.
📍 On the ground
Getting around: Forty minutes by train from Stockholm (and 18 direct from Arlanda — closer to the airport than the capital itself!). A city of bikes and a riverside walk.
Halal & prayer places: Fair for a student city — kebab and Eastern spots around the station and centre.
Local safety: Same as country →
Cost figures: 2026 prices: the cathedral free, the castle and gardens token-priced, student lunches ~$10–13.
