Our aim is to be a booklover's bookshop; the sort of place where you can lose yourself in the shelves for hours, browsing and relaxing in a chair to the soft music we play, while the river Fyris gently flows by a block away.

This’s accessible by foot from The Uppsala Central Station. Do not miss it when you’re in Uppsala. The beautiful architecture, coupled with the flowers and blue sky portrayed a picturesque scene. It reminded me of my university day. It’s a pity that I did not do enough reading while visiting and only discovered what I missed after I was home.

There was SO much to see. It's the main library of the university and dates back to the mid 1800s. Lots of history to be found inside. The Silver Bible was very much on display as were many other amazing items. Too many to list but do your research before you go so you don't miss a thing!

The unique beauty of this church is provided by the simplicity of the building and by the unique wall-paintings of the famous medieval artist Albertus Pictor. We find in this church a perfect harmony and a peaceful atmosphere. Do not miss visiting this church, when you are in Uppsala!
