Me and my husband visit this place 13th May Uppsala Cathedral is Amazing beautiful and bigger than Storkyrkan in Stockholm and it is the tallest church building in Scandinavia. ( 118.7 m height ) Don't miss the Runestone outside the church. Enjoy my pictures.

Coming to Uppsala, you can't and you mustn't miss the cathedral. With 117 meters its two main towers are the tallest in Scandinavia, and you will see them, together with the pink Uppsala castle, from afar across the Uppsala plain. Like so many cathedrals it took hundreds of years to build, rebuild and extend, and changed hands from the Catholic... More

You don't expect much as you enter this cathedral with its rather plain brick exterior and yet, once inside, the soaring Gothic revival nave, the painted roof and walls and the crypts with the tombs of Swedish monarchy seem delightful, airy and serene.

Uppsala Domkyrka will take your breath away from the first seconds with simplistic but quite impressive architecture. The admission is free, and a walk inside is worth it. There are small chambers designated for all religions and a surrealistic statue of woman will surprise you. It's perfect of a moment of meditation and thought.

This cathedral is very eye-catching and unique on the outside and even more spectacular once you get inside. Free admission. Definitely worth a visit!

The restaurant is very expensive for what it offers: mediocre food, served cold by unfriendly waiters.

Absolutely gorgeous church, and definitely a must-see in Uppsala. We were disappointed to miss the organ music the day we were there.

We did not enter the Cathedral but walked all around the permitter to look at the architecture. Beautiful structure and quite prominent in the Uppsala sky-line. The core of Uppsala is pretty small so definitely worth a walk up to check out the details.

A nice northern Europe cathedral that contains the remains of some of Sweden's famous citizens, including Gustav Vasa and Eric the Saint.
