Uppsala & Central Sweden
Historical Relics
Uppsala is a treat for history buffs: from pre-Viking grave mounds to a hillside castle
whose pink walls concealed decades of royal intrigue, plus the odd rune stone or stone-
ship setting, and a stash of museum treasures from art and artefacts to ancient manuscripts.
Industrial Artefacts
Central Sweden is the country's industrial workhorse, plying the rich landscape for iron,
copper and silver. Many of these places have been transformed into quaint and atmospher-
ic historical sites well worth a visit.
Regional Museums
Great museums are spread throughout the region, from Örebro's regional art museum to
the ambitious Värmland Museum in Karlstad to the homes of beloved Swedish artists Carl
Larsson and Anders Zorn and author Selma Lagerlöf.
