Book a trip to the different Uppsala, go on a trip about the dark part of Swedish history. Hear about the 17th century slave trade, about Uppsala's gallows hill, experience what was going on inside the racial biology institute and hear about the anatomical department's rules for which crimes could end up under the knife.

    Great tour! Very knowledgeable guide who answered all our questions! A lot of information that was both interesting but also fun facts! Good hiking for those who want to hear about the dark but also the bright parts of Uppsala's long history!

    Nice your. Of course we think Sweden is soft and fluffy but it's really all a sham! The zeal with which they tried to hurt mail or kill 'defective' citizens put the Nazis to shame. The guide was a typical older Swedish lady! You will know what I mean.
