Uppsala

You’ll notice the city’s commitment to innovation as soon as you arrive at Uppsala’s central station. The Juvelen, Scandinavia’s most eco-friendly office building, stands out with its striking design and six floors.

Completed in 2019, this building has achieved Platinum LEED certification thanks to its use of green energy solutions and other sustainable innovations. To experience the city like a local, hop on a bike and explore the well-established network of cycle paths. It’s no surprise that Uppsala was named Sweden’s most cycle-friendly city. Take the chance to explore the 18th-century legacy of Carl Linnaeus, Uppsala’s famous scientist and botanist. You can visit several inspiring gardens and museum homes, including The Linnaeus Museum, Linnaeus Garden, and The Botanical Garden, all located centrally.
