- Uppsala is a town just north of Stockholm. It's home to the biggest church in Scandinavia, the oldest university in the Nordics...and the graves of the descendants of the Old Norse gods.
Uppsala is a vibrant student town with a rich cultural life. The University of Uppsala is famous worldwide, and it’s the oldest university in the Nordics. The university was founded in 1477, and during the Great Power Era in the 17th and 18th century, the town of Uppsala was among the top European places for higher education.
In the Vendel Era, roughly 550 AD and up until the Viking Age, Uppsala became a center for trade and wealth was accumulated there. During that time the Royal Mounds of Uppsala were raised. People believe that these mounds were dedicated to Odin, Thor and Frej - or possibly three mythological kings of Sweden. As I visit the historical site of Old Uppsala (Gamla Uppsala), I dive into questions of how much truth there is to the Old Norse myths.
This video also explores Uppsala Cathedral, St Erik's Well, Uppsala Castle, and Uppsala University. Special attention is also given to one of the students, and later principal, of Uppsala University: Carl von Linné, Carl Linnaeus, a world-famous botanist.
The botanical gardens of Uppsala is another majestic sight, and it's fitting that we end the video in the legacy of Carl von Linné, in the University Botanical Garden.

Very clear videos and interesting narration 👍
Thank you so much! Appreciate it 😀
Lot’s of great memories! 😍 I studied Econimics at the Uppsala University. I love Östra Aros, Uppsala and think the church is the most beautiful church in Sweden. Uppsala is such a nice city to live in. Actually I was brought up in the city of Västra Aros, Västerås.
How lovely! I have to admit that my student memories of Uppsala mostly concern the Valborg celebrations (I studied in Linköping). But it's really nice to explore and experience the city as a grown-up instead!
Loved your video off Uppsala, what an ami g place, your videos are so interesting xxxx Linda Scotland
I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you so much 😀
Thanks for making this video. I am in Uppsala for my vacation. After seeing a few things in the city, I look for more information from internet to understand the city history and found your video. Such a nice way to share knowledge. Thanks a lot.

My dad and I were just in Uppsala last week. Very nice. We didn't get to see everything in 3 days.

Sweden, the most beautiful country in the world, fantastically beautiful, very beautiful city, excellent shot, it comes to wanderlust 👍

@@ThreeStarVagabond Hello, I think so. I love all Scandinavia, but only in summer.
Winters with the icy cold would not be for me. Greetings, Wolfgang
I just found this channel, and I am in LOVE!! You're very informative and light hearted. Makes for a fun and educational video.
Sometimes I feel like I text like an AI 🤣
Thank you so much! :D Haha, and if this is what to expect from AI texts, then I welcome our robot overlords :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond Me too! I'd rather be on their side than against if it came to that 🤣
@@fazilasamardzic7368 Haha! As soon as SkyNet emerges we'll be the first ones surrendering :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond We will be pets, but we'll be happy pets 🤷
@@fazilasamardzic7368 Haha! They might let me travel around and make videos, like we let cats run outside :D
Please do more videos
Det bro from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 👌
Great video...i went over 10 years ago. Maybe the seagull wanted you to give it some food!
Haha if I know anything about seagulls they ALWAYS want you to give food :D And thank you so much!
Your welcome...always loved Sweden and hope to go back next year, Craig, London@@ThreeStarVagabond

I’m comming to to Stockholm to see the architectural building I’m never been in Sweden before but i am sure I will like it very good country
I hope you will enjoy the visit then! Thank you and all the best :D
Tack för rund turen.
Även jag som kommer från Västkusten, men bor i Uppsala har inte upptäckt allt att se!
Tackar! Och ja det finns ju faktiskt massor att se där, och jag har inte sett mycket nog alls än. Jag hade egentligen tänkt åka förbi Flogsta också och prata om Flogsta-skriket, men det blev ont om tid..
@@ThreeStarVagabond ja, det gör ju det.
Om du får möjlighet så besök Alingsås, min hemstad. Café staden, äldre än Göteborg och Borås, Jonas Alströmer en av grundarna till Kungliga Vetenskaps Akadademin och lärde svenskarna hur man skulle äta potatisen m.m, så fins Gräfsnäs Slottysruin lite utanför!
@@robinjohansson1949 Åh kul idé! Det är så fascinerande att det finns intressanta saker om varenda ställe bara man börjar titta litegrann. Så, Alingsås... Något mer för listan!
@@ThreeStarVagabond ja men precis, man får leta lite så hittar man saker!
Are you yourself from Uppsala? I came across an old photograph from a little girl in the grass with three owls sitting on a twig. She looks exactly as me when I was that small. But she was my late-mother's age and I live in the Netherlands, but indeed I have scandinavian (swedish?) D
Sorry, fingerslip....dna in me. It might have to do with the Frisians? They lived/live down into the province of Utrecht. The north of the Netherlands was inhabited by the Frisians, down to the great rivers Rhine, Waal, Maas, west till the Northsea and even southwards down into France (Nord Pas de Calais). The higher dryer woodlands in the east were a mixture of eastern immigrants especially after the great folks-movements during the second half of the first millennium and after the romans left these grounds.
@@annemaria5126 Fascinating history! Very interesting how the peoples of Europe have moved around and changed both countries and cultures in that way. But no, not from Uppsala myself - but from Stockholm at least.
@@ThreeStarVagabond not so far away!
you're showing the wrong garden :( The one you showing is the University botanical garden and the one you're talking about is located a bit to the north close to the river.
Can I blame artistic license? Or maybe that it was an honest mistake? ...Or, possibly, I was just wrapping up for the day and figured "ah, no one will notice if I skip going to that garden as well" ^^
International students part time job opportunities in uppsala city?
I recommend to go to skutkär its actually kinda different place so yeah and i live in skutkär 😊
I have never been there...and to be honest I don't really know what to see there... But that sounds like half the charm, right! 😀
@@ThreeStarVagabond just a tip and i like ur channel
@@yazx287 All tips are much appreciated! :D I'll see if I find my way over there as well :)
@@ThreeStarVagabond is kinda close to Gävle so
How much distance between uppsala and Stockholm? By train
Oh it's less than an hour. And they have commuter trains as well for that
@@ThreeStarVagabondgood to know, Uppsala seems very nice city ❤ You & Ur videos are great...Thankx sir
@@zainulabdin1720 It is nice! Not a huge city but very pleasant :)
Caroles van Linnius
its a city xd
In Sweden three people standing too close to each other is a city
@@ThreeStarVagabond😭😭
Linneaus came from the Netherlands. A person can only study anything when names are given. So that was Adam's task according to the bible. And so did Linneaus with plants. Then a teacher can teach students, scientists can explore, write down their findings to be read by others, far away in place and time. Discussions are possible and arguments a must. But the first step towards knowledge is namegiving.
The Netherlands? Nah, he came från the south of Sweden, around Älmhult. And speaking of names, his father was actually named Ingemarsson before he adopted the loftier Linnaeus...
@@ThreeStarVagabond ???? Directly back to google! Thanks.
Yes. Read it. A wonderfull peace of 'google'?-translated swedish into dutch. Anyway, he was swesish, but there was certainly a string bond with the Netherlands. People moved a lot in the past, though the roads were not excellent, 'hotels' were not well operated, dangers along the way everywhere and all kinds. And allthough there was/were no internet and emails and phones, they communicated over time and distances. They knew everything what was going on anywhere. Remarkable.
