Påvel Snickares alley is not a street you go to willingly. Until now. On one of the alley walls, a giant painting of the graffiti artist Charlie Granberg, depicting Uppsala’s celebrity couple number one: Peter-No-Tail and Maja Gräddnos. High wow factor!

From one mural to another. However, a warning flag should be raised that this can give the viewer the creeps. At a garage door in the city, the girl stares out at anyone who tries to capture her in a picture. The artist is Lina Nääs. Behind the initiative are the real estate company Vasakronan and the cultural creator Ali Davoodi. #ArtMadeThis

Finished taking pictures of Uppsala Castle from the courtyard? Turn around. Voila! Now you are probably in front of Uppsala’s most photographed view: the Botanical Garden in all its glory! No filter is needed here.

Another classic Uppsala postcard. The cathedral bridge, the Uppland Museum and the Cathedral – all in the same frame.

Take the opportunity to swing past one of Uppsala’s oldest buildings, Gustavianum. When the sun bounces against the anatomical theatre on the roof, image perfection of the high school arises.

Did you think that only people had pedestrian crossings? What if! In Peter-No-Tails’s hometown, of course, we also have an Abbey Road for cats. Available at Carolina Rediviva.

Behind Carolina Rediviva is Carolina Park. A park filled with Instagram-friendly motifs: the Karl XIV Johan bust, the beautiful avenue and perhaps the country’s finest playground with Pelle Svanslös and his friends.

Next to the classic restaurant Domtrappkällaren is, as the name suggests, a staircase leading to Uppsala Cathedral. Atmospheric was the word!

Alvar & Sagas is the bakery that never sleeps! Pay attention when you pass the corner between Östra Ågatan and Smedsgränd. Prepare yourself for a sweet shock.

Did you know that Uppsala Cathedral is the largest cathedral in the Nordic countries? In other words, you do not have to go to Italy to experience a church of the highest international standard. As impressive on the outside as on the inside. The chandeliers, the Gothic chapel, the organs, the pulpit, the treasury, Gustav Vasa’s grave – choose your dream motif!

Booked a roof walk at Uppsala Castle? Fun, bring your camera! Few other vantage points in the city provide such incredible views of the entire city skyline.

Vasaparken is an oasis in the middle of the city. Rig the camera in front of the fountain, so that the Biotopia Museum reflects the water, and fire. Then turn the camera lens towards the fascinating Vasa House.

Which location offers the best angle to really capture the whole cathedral on camera? We’d say the vantage point provided by Uppsala’s most central park, Gotlandsparken. Ridiculously beautifully located along the Fyris river and Östra Ågatan.

Oh, by the way, we change our minds. It is probably the view at the newly painted Järnbron (connecting S: t Johannesgatan and Linnégatan) that best captures Uppsala’s soul.

Do you want to take another picture? Get to the foot of the University House and make the most of the magnificent views of the cathedral, Gustavianum and the University Park.
