The burial mounds
I remember seeing those burial mounds myself the olny time I did some sightseeing in Uppsala myself (alsmost 30 years ago). We have plans on going to Uppsala some time. It just never happens because it is too easy to go there for us. Did you know that Carl Linnaeus worked out of Uppsala. I Think his old home still stands there and it might be a museum today. If you are into Viking history you need to visit Birka, a Viking settlement (no, rather Viking City) in Lake Mälaren. I guess you didn't see it this time because there is no boat traffic running there in winter. In summer, during vacation season, there are boats going there and the museum is open and they have guided tours. /Ake
