Essential travel information and Uppsala tips for your visit

  • Remember to be wary of pickpockets, especially during nights.
  • If you end up taking a taxi which does not belong to the four companies and it does not tell you about a fixed rate based on the distance, you might want to haggle. It’s better if you choose from the four major players if you’re a paranoid traveller.
  • You may want to avoid being out too late during weekend nights when people in the city like to get drunk. In case of an emergency, the 112 number can be used to contact the police if you find yourself in trouble. Otherwise, Uppsala is a safe city.
  • There is no way of paying by cash if you take a bus. Remember that you can either pay for the ticket through SMS if you have a Swedish mobile number, or you can buy a ticket at the various vending machines put up near most of the bus stops.
  • If you are student studying at any university or college and you are carrying your student identity card, you can purchase the Uppsala University Student Nation Guest card. The university has 12 Nations (fraternities) that run many activities and the food and beverage is almost at half price. You’ll find lots of things to do on their event card.
  • If you have made the choice to rent a bike, it is very likely for it to get stolen. It’s a good idea to lock it whenever you leave it behind.
