Uppsala
Description
The university city of Uppsala lies in the heart of Sweden, 40 minutes from Stockholm and 20 minutes from Arlanda International Airport. With 190,000 inhabitants, Uppsala is Sweden’s fourth largest city. Uppsala retains the charm of a small town while offering major urban opportunities and attractions. Anywhere you look, Uppsala is teeming with liveliness. Here are two universities, and Uppsala is considered to be the religious and historic centre of Sweden. The city has a solid base of knowledge and tradition from which to progress. At the same time, the atmosphere is youthful, and more than 40,000 university students are a significant factor to this exuberance.
The assortment of cultural attractions is extensive. Uppsala is an “easy to travel” city, and the schedule of concerts is tightly packed. There are many fine art exhibitions. Cafés and restaurants are plentiful, as are also small and large hotels. It is easy to get around Uppsala, and equally easy to be captivated by the city so much that you will want to stay! Come to a city of convenience and comfort that is blended with history and cutting edge modern pursuits. While you meet, confer, convene or just visit, relax and enjoy the hospitable home town atmosphere in modern Uppsala!
