personal highlights

  1. Uppsala: the city of a very old and important University (since 1477)
  2. Gamla Uppsala: mediocre museum, peaceful scenery, great history
  3. Gustavianum: top museum was closed, but runic stones were there
  4. Fyris River: many young people on small boots slowly paddling by
  5. Svartbäcksgatan: slurping an iced coffee and enjoying the sun
