Holiday accommodation in Uppland

Traditionally, the line between the two provinces is drawn in the water between the old town and the district of Södermalm in central Stockholm. Uppland has about 1.3 million inhabitants, making it the country's most populous region. Of course, it has to do with Stockholm and its many job opportunities. However, many live in one of all those cities and towns in the Mälardalen region. Many people commute for example from and to Sweden's fourth-largest city Uppsala (about 160 000 inhabitants). Uppsala is a picturesque university town characterized by the river of Fyrisån, which flows through the city, the cathedral (Gothic brick building dating from 1435 and the largest church in Scandinavia), and the castle. This silhouette is something most inhabitants want to keep, which has to lead to the fact that only a few buildings exceed five-six stories. The University's culture is strong and it is perhaps Sweden's most popular university. Fifteen Nobel Prize winners have studied or worked at the university, and among its alumni, eight regents and fourteen prime ministers can be found.
