Hotels in Uppland, Sweden
Uppland is a region in eastern Sweden with cold winters averaging 20°F (-7°C) and mild summers around 70°F (21°C), famous for its Viking burial mounds at Gamla Uppsala and the 30,000-island Stockholm Archipelago in the Baltic Sea. In winter, you can skate on frozen Lake Mälaren or warm up inside the 15th-century Uppsala Cathedral, while summer lets you sail through the archipelago's granite islands and visit Skokloster Castle, a 17th-century baroque palace. The best time to come is June through August for warm sailing weather, or December through February for ice skating and seeing the sparse but possible Northern Lights.
