Uppsala Castle

Open

Fjärdingen

"giant and red" it is, per one awed reviewer
History museum is very kid-friendly
Dag Hammarskjöld grew up here; tribute at the entrance
Pair with a stroll through the botanical garden & old castle ruins

A massive pink fortress looming over the city since Gustav Vasa founded it in 1549. Come for the skyline views, stay for the free art and history museums inside.
