  Gamla Uppsala is an easy bike ride or bus trip from Uppsala, and is well worth a visit. The burial mounds are fascinating, and the old church there is beautiful. Aim to go on a nice day so that you can enjoy a walk around the area, and through the reserve nearby.

  The relatively new museum at Gamla Uppsala tells the story of the Viking burial mounds there. Thirty years ago you could walk to the top of each hill, but now, like Stonehenge, they are cordoned off to protect the site. At Gamla Uppsala church, they regularly have summer concerts for a nominal charge, and you can enjoy ice cream or a meal at Odinslund before going back to the bus stop for travel back to town.

  If you're spending time in Uppsala, make sure you visit "Gamla Uppsala" and the mystical "Uppsala högar". It may not be like the egyptian pyramids or mexican temples, but not far from it and it's a fascinating sight. The museum next to "Uppsala högar" could perhaps promote itself a little bit better, but it's definitely worth a visit and make sure you take part of the (hi)story behind this place. A more "swedish" sight is hard to find! Also: Don't miss the medieval church right next to "Uppsala högar"!

  This place outside Uppsala was one of the Vikings holiest places and there is still offerrings to the old gods being placed in the trees for good fortune. Feel the atmosphere among the huge gravemounds and then raise a cup of mjod to honour Thor and Odin.

  There are three enormous burial mounds of ancient kings, a simple, old historical church and a museum at Gamla Uppsala. We enjoyed our visit very much, eating our sandwiches on a mound looking over the fields towards Uppsala in the distance. The modest museum is great for learning about the Vikings who lived in the area and their way of life. It closes at 4pm, which is quite early so need to bear that in mind. You need to pay for the museum but not the mounds or church. It is a 20 minute bus ride from the train station and you can pay on board with a card - they don't take cash. It's not far, the bus takes you through the local suburbs.I particularly loved the simplicity of the church, with painted decorations. If you like history you'll appreciate Gamla Uppsala.

  A visit to Old Uppsala is a must for tourists and also for the inhabitants of Uppsala. Nowadays it is permitted to climb one of the hills. You have a magnificent view over the surronding fields. Thrilling to stand there and think of what happened centuries ago.. Tales of sacrifices of horses and men in the trees. Historical Museum nearby as well as restaurant.

  The burial mounds and the old church was like walking back into the past. We examined the sample village as well. Very Cool

  Not far out of the city you have Gamla Uppsala, very impressive burial mounds of the kings. There is no restriction on walking over it and between them and there are activities around like the church an old museum and in the summer an outside museum. Plus a very nice restaurant we can recommend for fika and lunch. Didnt visit the Museum itself only the shop, felt it was a bit pricey for the size and worried the kids might get bored. The old 'village' attraction was closed but also looked like it would be fun. Overall if you have a car definitely worth a visit.

  Such a nice and historical place full of background, compete with the old church and museum. Nice but could be more developed, bigger and some more fantasy, interactivity and "swing". It fells as they reach only 50% of capacity and possibilities.

  Gamla Uppsala and its viking "royal burial mounds" are one of the most important archaeological sites in Sweden.I couldn't believe that not only is completely free to walk around the grounds (the information shop, however, has an entry fee) but you can actually walk all over and hike on the actual mounds! In fact, when I was there there were families having a picnic atop of the mounds and others sunbathing! I'm hard pressed to think of any other archaeological site that would actually allow visitors to do this!The grounds are self-guided and there are several information plaques around the grounds supplying information.In addition to the royal mounds, there are is also a 12th century church which allegedly sits above a former temple. Next to the church is an old red wooden church and graveyard.Be sure to read the plaque next to the church regarding the importance of Gamla Uppsala to Sweden.Gamla Uppsala is a 30-minute bus ride from Uppsala central station - ask the bus driver to let you know when you arrive at the 'Gamla Uppsala' stop. From the stop, it's a 3-5 minute walk on the other side of the road.One of the most fascinating, historical sites I've seen in Sweden.
