Travelling along the E18 road from the port of Kapellskär inland will first take you to Norrtälje, a town that comes alive in the summer. The town's must-visit destination is definitely the Societetsparken which hosts concerts every evening in the summer. The observation point at Södra Bergen also provides a magnificent view over the Bay of Norrtälje.

Uppsala is a lively city with a buzzing cultural scene; the city's sights, museums and shops would take days to explore. The city is most proud of its university and cathedral, which are the oldest and largest of their kind in the Nordic countries. Uppsala Castle was built in 1549 by Gustav I of Sweden, who founded the city of Helsinki in Finland a year later. The burial mounds in Gamla Uppsala, known in Swedish as kungshögarna, or king's mounds, predate the arrival of Christianity. The marketing slogan of Sigtuna –'Where Sweden begins' – is by no means an exaggeration, as it is one of Sweden's oldest cities. Kings and Vikings alike have left their mark on Sigtuna, so the city is the site of several magnificent castles and the ruins of medieval churches. Today, the city centre is full of small shops and restaurants ideal for enjoying a relaxing break while sightseeing.
