Welcome to my green world! I am not only an authorized and professional Stockholm guide, but also hold a tourist guide license for Uppsala. With my many years of experience in production, guiding and storytelling, I now tell Uppsala in a new way. With its history, Uppsala has captivated people for years. The city was home to the world-famous scientist Carl von Linné, who studied, researched and taught in Uppsala during the 18th century. Here you will also find Scandinavia´s largest and oldest church, one of the Nordic´s oldest universities and the symbolic Linnaeus Garden. Feel free to visit the Museum Gustavianum in Sweden´s oldest university building, where you will find the famous dissection hall from the 17th century. If you want to walk in the footsteps of Carl von Linné, we recommend a trip to the Botanical Garden and the Linné Museum. The Royal Mounds (Kungshögarna) is the name of the three large barrows located in Gamla Uppsala. According to folklore, the three gods Thor, Oden and Freys would be at rest in Kungshögarna.
