The Gocart Centre in Uppsala

If you like speed and excitement, the Gocart Centre in Uppsala is a perfect destination. Here you can book corporate events and action-packed evenings with family and friends. You're also welcome to just drop in and drive a few laps.

It is also possible to rent a Segway and explore Uppsala on a Segway sightseeing.

Old Uppsala

It's really worth taking the time to visit Gamla Uppsala, one of Scandinavia's strangest archaeological sites. Take a look at one of the three majestic royal burial mounds - Uppsala Högar - from the 500s, or at one of the largest burial grounds in Scandinavia and the remains of the cathedral, which was built in the 12th century.

The place is mythical and has become famous abroad in recent years because of the TV series "Vikings". Take the opportunity to learn more about how it all happened back then.

You can also visit Gamla Uppsala museum, Odinsborg restaurant and Disagården open-air museum, which is located here.

Friluftsgården Alnäs

Here you'll find a scenic gem with outdoor activities for the whole family. Here you can have fun outdoors at Ekolns north beach just 15 minutes from Uppsala city center. You can rent canoes and rowing boats, play tennis, beach volleyball, basketball and football. And why not go rock climbing?

Sigtuna

You should take the time to visit Sigtuna. The town can trace its origins back to the 900s, and is considered to be Sweden's oldest town. The streets and houses are steeped in history and you can visit Sigtuna Museum to learn even more. There are plenty of small local shops selling everything from clothes to furniture and yarn.

In summer, you can stroll along the promenade and buy an ice cream cone at the harbour. In winter, marvel at the charming medieval building of Café Tant Brun while you warm up with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee.

Arlandastad Golf Club

If you like to play golf, book a hotel at Risskov and take a cheap golf holiday north of Stockholm, where you'll find Arlandastad Golf Club. Here you can spend the day outdoors with the clubs for company. The place has a nice restaurant when it's time for refreshments and with a mini break or a weekend stay from Risskov, it doesn't have to cost a lot to go on a golf holiday outside the country's borders.

The Cable Park

If you're bold and adventurous, visit The Cable Park at Halmsjön near Arlanda Airport. Here you can water-ski, but instead of being pulled by a boat, you'll be pulled by an electric-powered track. Not only is it great fun, it's also very climate-friendly.

Steninge Slot

In Steninge, outside Märsta, you will find Steninge Castle. The building dates back to 18th century and the castle park is open to the public. You can also visit Steningeladen nearby and look at local handicrafts or you can grab a bite to eat and a cup of coffee.

Rosersberg Castle

Listen to the wings of history at Rosersberg Castle. Here you can enjoy a magnificent experience in rural surroundings, with vast green spaces and the glistening waters of Lake Malaren as a backdrop. Take a guided tour and learn more about Charles XIV Johan and his wife Desideria's former pleasure palace and summer residence.
