Old Uppsala museum

Before you buy your ticket, go to the info stand in the corner on the left (inside). (See photo) There are QR codes to YouTube explainers of the history, paper maps of the area, information about the summer program, among other things. Great museum for children, with interactive displays and a dress-up corner. It’s a fairly small museum. I got around all the exhibits in under an hour. It would take a lot longer with children. Prices (2024) in photos. Gift shop has some beautiful things.

The mounds is very interesting, but the museum was a massive disappointment. 150sek per adult and most of it is a play zone for kids. So much history and findings, but very poorly displayed. The guided tour was a joke.

We absolutely loved visiting Gamla Uppsala with this modern and interactive museum about the history of the place, with a focus on the Vendel Period and the Viking Age. We were thrilled with the guided tour of the museum animated by a very knowledgeable archeologist, followed by a second tour where we we went outside to the mounds. I included a photo of the daily program for guided tours which applied the day we visited on a Saturday in August 2024.

A very quite place with a lot from history to learn. The museum is full of artifacts that shows history in a very unique way. Don't forget to visit Odinsborg cafe for a quick break.

Great place for learning about Scandinavian and Sweden history. Interesting and interactive.

A must visit in the area, such a nice and informative museum. Lovely employees and afterwards it's great to take a walk outside to look at the mounds.

A bit expensive for a place that can be visited in 30 minutes: nothing prevents you from stopping by for longer, though, there are seats. I have been told I could also come back a second time with the same ticket, I guess it could be useful if I happen to be in the area on a rainy day. Obviously recommended for anyone who is into Viking history, don't forget to have a look at the nearby mounds as well. The coffee from the local coffee machine was surprisingly lukewarm, unfortunately

Very small but nice museum of the old Uppsala settlement.
