Maps and Orientation of the City

Central Uppsala is generally quite compact and easy to find your way around. A wide selection of historic buildings are based on the outskirts of the city centre, particularly in the region of the cathedral and the westerly banks of the River Fyris (Fyrisan).

The river itself splits the city of Uppsala into two main regions. The historic quarter lies on the western side, while the main commercial and residential districts are to be found to the east. For maps of Uppsala, try the bookstores on the Dragarbrunnsgatan, the Sankt Persgatan and at the train station, or the tourist office on the Fyristorg.
