Uppsala
4 things to see
Uppsala is Sweden’s university city with a free-entry Gothic cathedral, the Linnaeus botanical garden, and a student-driven atmosphere just a short, cheap commuter-train ride from Stockholm. Student-town pricing keeps food and drink noticeably cheaper than the capital, and wandering the riverside, the cathedral, and the old university quarter costs nothing. It works well as an affordable day trip if Stockholm prices stretch the budget.
