Under the soaring spires of Uppsala, secrets linger in the shadow of ancient stones—this is a city where kings fell, rebels rose, and scandal hushed sacred halls.

Embark on a self-guided audio tour through Uppsala’s winding streets and towering landmarks, unlocking stories and hidden corners most travelers never find.

Why did desperate students dare to challenge the very foundation of Church and Crown at Uppsala Cathedral? What stains the history of Uppsala Castle with acts of power that shook Sweden? Which whispers flicker in candle-lit alcoves few ever notice within the Church of Sweden headquarters?

Move through history as footsteps echo across centuries of intrigue and transformation. Stand in the very places where betrayal and belief collided, and let the city reveal its extraordinary tapestry of ambition, faith, and rebellion.

Begin the journey—step into the heart of Uppsala’s mysteries and see what lies beneath its silent towers.
