Live in Uppsala

Even though Uppsala is part one of the fastest-growing regions in Europe, you’ll never be more than a short bike ride from those restorative Swedish green spaces. To help you get to know your new home, we guide you in how to find a housing, school and childcare, how to open a bank account, where you can learn Swedish or just hang out with your new neighbours.
