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

We had such a wonderful experience renting Ivan’s camper van for a week! Honestly, everything was even better than we expected. We had absolutely everything we needed — and then some. ❤️ The van was super clean, very well equipped, comfortable, and really performant. One of the things we loved most was the solar setup. We never needed to plug the van into electricity during our trip because the solar panels and battery system worked amazingly well — somehow, the battery just never seemed to run out! It made everything so easy and gave us a lot of freedom during our trip. All the practical things were also incredibly straightforward. Filling up with fresh water, emptying the grey water, and taking care of all the little camper-van things were really easy once Ivan explained everything to us. He made sure we had everything we needed before setting off, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about us having a good experience. And Ivan himself was was incredibly friendly, kind, helpful, and easy to communicate with. He checked in on us after a few days just to make sure everything was going well — not in an intrusive way at all, but in that really nice way where you can tell someone genuinely cares and wants to know that you’re having a good time. 🥰 We had quite a few questions along the way because there’s naturally a lot of information to remember when you first get a camper van, and every time we messaged him, he replied super quickly and was incredibly helpful. He also gave us great recommendations about places to visit and where to go, which made the whole trip even better. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The van was amazing, everything was easy and well thought-out, and Ivan was such a lovely host. If you’re planning a camper van trip along the north coast of Spain, we would absolutely recommend renting from Ivan. You’ll be in very good hands! We would 100% do it again. 🚐☀️❤️

Our hire experience was very smooth, the vehicle was exactly as described and the little extras provided by Jackeline & Juan made us feel welcomed & made the first day or so easier as we got used to van life. J&J were available to answer any questions we had during our trip and though we didn’t speak each other’s native languages we managed perfectly to communicate with AI & the instructive videos provided. Collection & return were easy. All in all a fabulous experience, one we would repeat and highly recommend. 5 Stars all round!
