My Uppsala

Uppsala is the forth largest city in Sweden. Uppsala is a very beautiful city. There are many people who live in Uppsala. The most of them are muslims and christians. In Uppsala we have only one mosque and it not that big. It's not very many people there every day because the most of the people works and goes to school so they can't go to the mosque , but on fridays and on holidays there are very many persons there.

There are many churches for the christians but the biggest one is Domkyrkan and it is located between Uppsala university and River Fyris in the centre of Uppsala. Domkyrkan is the tallest and biggest church in the Nordic countries and Scandinavia.

Carl Von Linne was a very famous man. He created a system for all living on earth and that each species must have two Latin names.

In Uppsala , there are many places to shop from but i will recommend H&M and Gina tricot if you are a teenage ,but if you are a bit older I will recommend you Dressman if you are a man of course and Rådhuset for the older women. There is a lot more better shops but this is the one I'm recommending.

Uppsala is fourth largest locality in Sweden.
It lives about 200 000 people in Uppsala.
It's a big city with many places to see. If you want to visit an old church, you may go to Domkyrkan. If you want to visit a big indoor pool area, you may go to Fyrishov. If you like flowers or other plants, you may go to Botansika garden. If you like music and musicals, you may go to Uppsla Konsert and Kongress. It's obviously more places to see here in Uppsala but I think this is the most interesting places to see.

In the city you have a lot shops and we have three malls. You could buy a lot of things in the mall for example clothes, shoes, make up, food and much, much more. If you're hungry, there is a lot of restaurants in the mall and also outside the mall. In Forum Mall you can eat at Mc Donald's or Cupido.

If you ever go to Uppsala you should go to Fyrishov, a building in which you can swim, go bowling or just have dinner. there are a lot of restaurants in Uppsala but residential areas are more common especially in the centrum of Uppsala. the population of Uppsala has doubles in just sixty years.

Buses run frequently around downtown and in the suburbs and the sheer number of cabs can also help you get around. I hope you've learned something about Uppsala. /Axel 7B

Uppsala is a really clean and beautiful place. It is the fourth biggest city in Sweden, It has a lot of history and old buildings, for example: The cathedral, it is so big you could even see it from a far. It is a really strong cathedral, it has been on fire a lot of times, but it is still standing.

There is lot of nature in the summer also, but it is going to be really cold in the winter, you could really feel the drop of temperature, but there is still a lot of fun things to do, like ice skating, snow ball fights and more.

In the summer you could have a "fika" outside or maybe you can go sun bathing or go to parks or maybe even amusement parks or maybe you can go to the local swimming pool or you can feed ducks.

There is a dessert that swedish people go crazy for which is called " Semla".

I live in Sävja. Uppsala is the fourth biggest city in Sweden. Everyone can do anything what they what in Uppsala like for example we can go for the church or we can go to the lake. Swedbank is a building in Uppsala. Swedbank is important for people to change the money and for so many things. As I know Uppsala has 2 famous persons. I came to sweden on Last Year so I am new for Sweden and I don't know anything about Sweden and where did I live neither. When I came to Sweden I just lived in Uppsala first and i think Uppsala is good for people to live. In Uppsala they have a desert that Sweden people really likes the name of the dessert is "semla". Uppsala has a universite it's located in . Uppsala has a big lake. Uppsala has a kommun . Kommun helps so many people don't have money to live who came new for Sweden and who lives in Sweden, to have a job and for the health of the people so everything is good in Uppsala more than my country.
