Årummet – Uppsala’s green waterside

Fotograf Kalbar/Destination Uppsala Parks | The waterside gives city residents somewhere to meet, think, lunch, eat ice cream, drink coffee and stroll. In Uppsala, we have our beloved Årum (River Room), where we enjoy an open-air city life all summer.

Biotopia and Vasaparken an experimental museum and park for nature lovers

Fotograf Carl Fredriksson Parks | Vasaparken is home to one of Uppsala's most exciting playgrounds, and the nearby Biotopia museum makes it unmissable for all nature lovers with inquiring minds.

Rosénparken – a rippling gem for meeting friends and reflection

Parks | Rosénparken is a little gem of a park, between Upplandsmuseet (County Museum) and Saluhallen (Market Hall), where you can take a break from the bustle of the city. On hot summer days, the proximity to the river Fyrisån and the rippling animation of Asptrappan (an asp ladder) bring a welcome feeling of coolness.
