Why choose Uppsala for your road trip

Uppsala — a city worth exploring

Uppsala's cathedral, Domkyrkan, stands as Scandinavia's tallest church at 118.7 metres and has watched over the city since the late 13th century. This university town, home to Uppsala University founded in 1477, blends centuries of academic heritage with green riverside paths along the Fyris River. Wander through the Linnaeus Garden, the oldest botanical garden in Sweden, or step inside the Gustavianum museum to see the remarkable anatomical theatre built in 1663. Gamla Uppsala, just 5 km north, preserves royal burial mounds dating back to the 6th century — a must-see for anyone curious about Viking-era history. Stockholm lies only 71 km to the south, while the lakeside town of Sigtuna is a pleasant 37 km drive southwest. The surrounding Uppland countryside is largely flat, making it easy to navigate with larger vehicles, and quiet country roads lead to forests, lakes, and farmland perfect for slow-paced exploration. Hiring a campervan or motorhome through Yescapa connects you directly with local owners in the Uppsala area, giving you a personal touch and flexible pick-up options that make planning your trip straightforward. A campervan lets you combine city culture with the freedom of the Swedish countryside, all at your own pace.

Best time to visit

Uppsala is a rewarding destination throughout the year. The Walpurgis Night celebrations on 30 April fill the city with bonfires, choral singing, and student traditions — a truly unique experience. Summer brings the long daylight hours of the Swedish season, ideal for exploring by campervan, with campsites in the Uppland region open and welcoming. The Kulturnatten festival in September transforms Uppsala into an open stage of music, art, and performances. Booking through Yescapa during spring or autumn often means more choice and competitive peer-to-peer pricing. Plan ahead for summer months to secure your preferred motorhome from a local owner.

5 / 5

Stefan was easy to communicate with and responded to any questions promptly. The campervan was very comfortable and fuel efficient. The solar electricity worked flawlessly and allowed us to largely avoid commercial camps. Thanks for the great travel experience in your van.

Excelent guests!!! I can only recommend them to all fellow providers!

Bavo
4 / 5

Don't let the old age of the campervan fool you it will still get you where you need to go and drive up the steep hills albeit with a small learning curve. The van has everything that you need and you can sleep in it comfortably. It does show a bit of it's age but that's part of the charm. Maria and Jake are great hosts who will take the time to show you how the vehicle works and purrs. They will also give you an extensive lists of sleeping spots, hikes and things to do in Sao Jorge which is greatly appreciated. If you want to sleep next to the ocean or on the hills of Sao Jorge, I recommend this van!
