Welcome to explore the viking heritage at Gamla Uppsala and one of Sweden’s largest and most important burial sites. Gamla Uppsala (4km north of Uppsala) contains three spectacular royal mounds and more than 300 mounds from the 6th to 12th centuries. Learn about the pre-Viking kings Aun, Egil and Adils, who appear in Beowulf and Icelandic sagas.
Join us for guided tours in both Swedish and English, family-friendly activities, and the chance to experience the site from atop one of the spectacular royal mounds—accompanied by our knowledgeable guides.
Everything is included in the admission ticket.
