Uppsala is the fourth biggest city in Sweden, mainly due to its university that dates back to 1477. This is also the location of the Swedish archbishop seat.
The Uppsala cathedral is the largest in Scandinavia. Swedish kings have been coronated and buried here, with many important Swedes that lived and died in Uppsala. You can visit the grave of Carl Linneaus (founder of the naming system for plants) and Dag Hammarskjold (UN General Secretary), and in Old Uppsala, you find the grave of Anders Celsius (the temperature scale).
