One of the most beautiful cathedrals I have every seen. Majestic, with a lot of the original 13th century decor in place. Recommend going to Upplands Museum first, as it shows the history of this cathedral, making your experience a lot more meaningful. It is also calm and peaceful. There is a tresoury museum in the tower, but did not get a chance to see it as it was closed for Easter. Check more information in the souvenier shop.

The architecture is outstanding.There’re many impressive art pieces made of marble and a female statue that looks so real that both me and my boyfriend had doubts if it was a statue. Looks creepy to look it in the eyes and get the impression that someone is watching you.

One of the main attractions of Uppsala is also the tallest church in the Nordic countries. The towers were added and reconstructed due to fire much later than the original part of the church. Originally built as a Catholic Cathedral, the church has long been the primary location of the Church of Sweden. With several different constructions and additions, the style of the church is primarily Gothic but a few different styles blend together to create what you see today. It is not quite as ornate and opulent as so many of the large cathedrals of the center of Europe but it is still a beautiful site worth some time to visit.

Took no guided tour and a small information brochure with ridiculously little information to know who lay where / what was in the church they would have 10 SEK for which we discovered on the way out. There are no signs with information about anything inside the church, except a work of art that was uninteresting. Sound volume inside the church was a constant murmur as everyone talked without bothering to be quiet.
The gift shop was expensive. There is no toilet, you have to ask yourself and it is located in another room, you have to walk a few minutes to find. The museum itself on the upper floors we discovered by chance, there was no information about it anywhere. Strange setup where you had to browse a block to read about each object, took time and was complicated.
Otherwise an impressive construction and interesting to see the graves.

Very nice walk from the hotel and central train station. Easy to walk through and great displays of tombs. A tour group also sang while they were there. The rings on the ground for opening the tombs in the floor you had to watch for tripping hazard . Disappointed that the MUSEUM GUSTAVIANUM where they performed autopsy was closed.

We were lucky as the day we visited a free concert was about to start and we were able to stay and enjoy it.

The building was completed in 1435 but the spires and interior (gothic) were not completed until the late 19th C. This cathedral has the longest nave in Scandinavia.

Close to the entrance is the tomb of Carl Linnaeus, the scientist, the father of modern botany.

There is a chapel that was originally dedicated to the Virgin Mary that was later renovated to hold the tomb of King Gustar Vasa...outside of the chapel is a strange/poorly done wax statue of Mary.

It is a lovely cathedral and even though it's the tallest in Scandinavia, it does seem a little small inside. The decorations with stenciling and painting on all the walls was so delicate and beautiful. It doesn't take long to see everything inside, but it's worth a short stroll around. Plus, there are runestones all around the outside that date from 900 and 1,000.

Muito bonita, e de grande importância para a Igreja Luterana da Suécia.
A catedral é visível de diversas partes da cidade, e a visita interna também pode valer bem a pena.

Very beautiful, and of great importance for the Lutheran Church in Sweden.
The cathedral is visible from different parts of the city, and a visit inside can also be well worth it.

The Uppsala Cathedral is striking and dominates the city skyline at various points. We did not happen to go inside it, but took many photos of it from several different perspectives. The two spires are especially handsome and, it’s worth walking around the building to appreciate its historic architecture.

Magnificent temple, the largest we have seen probably as it had infinite seats, two church organs, many chapels and tombs of former archbishops or royal families. The treasury cost 5-6 euros per person and was interesting and worth a visit since the entrance to the temple is free. He had clothes and objects from the graves of the persons mentioned above.
