UPPSALA AND THE UPPSALA SPRING FESTIVAL

Early May is a particularly nice time to come and visit Uppsala. It is the time of spring festivities and the awakening of nature and the city.

The end of April has since medieval times been a time of celebrating the spring, especially in Eastern Sweden. Uppsala and especially Uppsala’s students have participated in this tradition, especially on the last of April (“sista april”, Valborg, http://www.valborgiuppsala.se/en) that features various celebrations and special activities all over the town.
