Uppsala, Skokloster Palace and Sigtuna
The city of Uppsala is situated 75 km north of Stockholm. During the Viking era Uppsala was the nation's centre of jurisdiction and the heart of the Swedish pagan cult. In the 13th century it became the Swedish Archbishopric and the magnificent Gothic cathedral was erected. Uppsala University, founded in the 15th century, is the oldest in Sweden and its library houses among other things the unique 6th century Silver Bible. The 17th century Skokloster Palace displays all its original interior decoration and furniture and is the best preserved reminder of the Swedish great power era. On the way back to Stockholm, you will stop in Sigtuna, nowadays a small, typically Swedish town with low wooden buildings lining the narrow main street. However, despite is apparent sleepy demure, it was the most important town in 11th century Sweden.
