Uppsala

Enjoying the scenic views...

...from the SJ train journeying towards Uppsala, Sweden's 4th largest municipality.
Uppsala, the university city, is located 70km above Stockholm, in Uppland.

The largest bicycle parking lot I've seen so far in Sweden

Uppsala seems to be not much different from Stockholm, with its typical cobblestoned roads...

...till we saw the famed Uppsala Cathedral (Domkyrkan) looming majestically over everything else

Uppsala Cathedral
-built in the 13th century
-took more than 175 years to complete
-Swedish national shrine

The carvings of the statues are ever so beautiful


Utterly awsome interiors


Even me, a non-religious person, is beginning to feel spritual in such a holy place

Can anyone tell me why the person is headless?

Nice carvings again, but a bit creepy





Sweden's 15th century university

Sweden's oldest Botanical garden (350 yrs old)

What a view!

Note the interesting-looking pyramid-shaped bushes

This giant bench is so comfortable after all that walking....

Gustaf II Adolf the Great, King of Sweden, famous for employing mobile artillery. Idolized by Napoleon.

Do U wanna eat in this restaurant overlooking the choppy canal water?

Or this classy restaraunt overlooking the calm waters?

I've no money for both so I can only afford this shot
