Uppsala Downtown car rental - Travel Guide |
 |
Forty minutes train ride north of Stockholm, UPPSALA is regarded as the historical and religious centre of the country. It's a tranquil daytime alternative to the capital with a delightful river-cut centre, not to mention an active student-geared nightlife. At the centre of the medieval town, a ten-minute walk from the train station is the great Domkyrkan, Scandinavia's largest cathedral. The echoing interior remains impressive, particularly the French Gothic ambulatory, sided by tiny chapels, one of which contains a lively set of restored fourteenth-century wall paintings that tell the legend of St Erik, Sweden's patron saint, while another contains his relics. Poke around and you'll also find the tombs of Reformation rebel monarch Gustav Vasa and his son Johan III, and that of the great botanist Carl Von Linné (self styled as Carolus Linnaeus), who lived in Uppsala.
Opposite the cathedral is the Gustavianum, built in 1625 as part of the university and much touted for its tidily preserved anatomical theatre. The same building houses a couple of small collections of Egyptian, Classical and Nordic antiquities and the Uppsala University Museum which contains the glorious Augsburg Art Cabinet, an ebony treasure chest presented to Gustav II Adolf. The current University building is the imposing nineteenth-century Renaissance edifice over the way, among whose alumni are Anders Celsius, inventor of the temperature scale. No one will mind if you stroll in for a quick look at the extensive collection of portraits and the imposing central hall. A little way beyond is the Carolina Rediviva, one of Scandinavia's largest libraries, with a collection of rare letters and other paraphernalia, including a beautiful sixth-century silver Bible and Mozart's manuscript for The Magic Flute. The Castle has recently been made open to the public - a 1702 fire that destroyed three-quarters of the city did away with all but one side and two towers of this opulent palace. Now you can wander around the excavations and peruse the waxworks in authentic costumes. There are also guided tours in English of the opulent State Apartments. |
