“Our tour with Ana of Vasa Museum and Old City 28/08/25 Ana proved to be an exceptional guide. She effortlessly conveyed her enthusiasm for her topic, and shared the depth of her knowledge. She had a light touch and a sense of humour. We particularly liked that she was a keen researcher.

5.Roofwalking on the worlds greatest pink castle!

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 15 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $78

Climb through Uppsala Castle, put on a helmet and safety harness, then walk across the roof with a guide. You’ll hear stories about the castle and city while taking in wide views over Uppsala. Guides such as Jonathan, Levina, and Hanna are praised for calm, friendly safety briefings. The group is limited to 12.

“I took part in the rooftop tour which was a very unique and exciting experience! Great service, online booking was very easy and our guide was a really nice guy who made sure everybody was safe and felt comfortable during the tour. I actually have a quite intense fear of heights but I wanted to extend my boundaries...in the beginning the height without much handrail was very scary but I got quite used to the situation over time and enjoyed the walk :) You have time to accommodate in the beginning while sitting on the roof and listening to the guide. Do not hesitate to try this tour!”
