The ancient city of Uppsala is considered the birthplace of Sweden. In addition to the tombs of the first Swedish kings in Old Uppsala, the city also hosts an 800-year-old Gothic cathedral and Scandinavia’s oldest university. A guided tour provides an in-depth look at all of these landmarks as well as the University Museum, whose exhibits pay tribute to famous Swedish scholars including Celsius and Linneus. Then, continue to the ancient city of Sigtuna, established by Sweden’s first Christian king. Many runic stones, church ruins and the remains of a 1,000-year-old town plan are evidence of its former greatness.
