Old Uppsala museum

Before you buy your ticket, go to the info stand in the corner on the left (inside). (See photo) There are QR codes to YouTube explainers of the history, paper maps of the area, information about the summer program, among other things. Great museum for children, with interactive displays and a dress-up corner. It’s a fairly small museum. I got around all the exhibits in under an hour. It would take a lot longer with children. Prices (2024) in photos. Gift shop has some beautiful things.

You can go to the area without fees. I feel the museum is expensive for what you get to see but the history is in one place, so it is easier to understand. We went to Trelleborg in Denmark which is as better value and has a long house rebuilt.

A very quite place with a lot from history to learn. The museum is full of artifacts that shows history in a very unique way. Don't forget to visit Odinsborg cafe for a quick break.

Amazing to witness the story telling of the museum at Gamla!

A bit expensive for a place that can be visited in 30 minutes: nothing prevents you from stopping by for longer, though, there are seats. I have been told I could also come back a second time with the same ticket, I guess it could be useful if I happen to be in the area on a rainy day. Obviously recommended for anyone who is into Viking history, don't forget to have a look at the nearby mounds as well. The coffee from the local coffee machine was surprisingly lukewarm, unfortunately

The mounds is very interesting, but the museum was a massive disappointment. 150sek per adult and most of it is a play zone for kids. So much history and findings, but very poorly displayed. The guided tour was a joke.

Really fascinating, learnt some cool facts about vikings

A must visit in the area, such a nice and informative museum. Lovely employees and afterwards it's great to take a walk outside to look at the mounds.
