Uppsala is the capital of Uppsala
County and the fourth largest city of Sweden, after Stockholm,
Gothenburg and Malmö.
It had 140,454 inhabitants in 2010.
Located 71 km (44 mi) north of the
capital Stockholm, it is also the seat of Uppsala Municipality.
Since 1164, Uppsala has been the
ecclesiastical centre of Sweden, being the seat of the Archbishop of
the Church of Sweden.
Founded in 1477, Uppsala University is
the oldest centre of higher education in Scandinavia.
A young town with nearly 40,000
students who are seen and heard everywhere.
I like it.
It makes the city alive.
