A cool and inspirational design shop in the heart of Uppsala…read more Urban Collection sells stylish items from e.g. Hay, Nicolas Vahé and Tom Dixon. The store is super nice looking, and you can even improve your shopping experience with a fresh cup of coffee - made with their own espresso machine! The staff is as cool as the shop itself, which unfortunately sometimes means ignoring the customers. Nevertheless, the atmosphere there is lovely, the layout of the shop is beautiful and the items sold are very nice. If you are not able to go to Urban Collection by person, you still have a chance to do it virtually: their webstore! No coffee, but the same beautiful items to buy.

I have a soft spot for "street food" - a small grille or a kiosk that serves up a fried speciality…read more The Johannes Grill and Kiosk helped me to indulge in my guiltiest of guilty street-food pleasures: Kebab. On a recent trip to Uppsala, I stayed at a hotel very near the kiosk. When I passed it on my walk to check into the hotel, I was skeptical of the place. However, hungry and tired, I decided to stop in and see what was on the menu. When I spied "Kebab," I decided to plunge in. I can only speak for one of the dishes they serve under their Kebab offerings: Kebab Tallik. Thin slices of meat are then fried lightly on a large open metal grill. French fries are piled into my take-away container, along with crisp lettuce and a slice of tomato. A hot pepper garnishes on the side. The sliced meat, hot and juicy and tender, is piled on top of the fries. I have my choice of red sauce or white sauce; I am a sucker for the yogurt-based sauces, so I go white. The large portion is daunting. But if you do your fork technique right and skewer a cross-section of meat, fries, and vegetables, you get this fried crisp juicy burst of flavor in your mouth, topped with a semi-sweet and creamy yogurt sauce. I was not disappointed by subsequent bites. Pair this with a Coke, and you're in street food heaven. The cook and owner of the kiosk is friendly. He and I had no trouble communicating, despite my lack of knowledge of Swedish. He accommodated my English with a smile and patience, which I appreciated. Is this a sit-down meal you can savor for hours over erudite conversation? No. If you want that, go elsewhere. But, if you want tasty Kebab in the best European street-food tradition, I recommend a stop at the Johannes Grill and Kiosk.

Sigtuna is famous for a few things (being arguably the oldest town in Sweden, having more…read morerunestones than anywhere else in the world, its church ruins), but one reason is certainly Stora Gatan, its remarkably well-preserved main street (which still runs down its original route). It couldn't be more charming. The storefronts are colorful and cute, and if you're in Sigtuna, you just have to take a stroll down this beautiful pedestrian street. Stop for an ice cream or lunch or shop at any of its boutique stores and bakeries...! There's a lot to do and see on Stora Gatan, and it's honestly as cute as button.
