Gamla Uppsala, Tombs of Vikings
Since I have moved to Stockholm, Sweden, I have become a fan of Viking history and culture. In the Viking age, Gamla Uppsala was the capital of the Swedes tribe Vikings. I visited there almost three years ago and I decided to visit there once again. The last time I visited there, I did not have time to visit Gamla Uppsala Museum, so this time visiting the museum was the main point why I decided to visit there. So, let's go!
It takes almost one hour and 30 minutes away from central Stockholm to Uppsala. I took a train to get here, but I have heard that taking a bus is even cheaper.

I want to visit Gotland again to see these runestones. I will be prepared to explore some runestones next time. Yes! Now I know how to use Runedata by Uppsala University 😀👍 ( https://app.raa.se/open/runor/search )
If you are interested in the Viking Age and Viking history like me, this is a must-go museum in Uppsala! You would love the exhibition about how they built the tombs and what they found in these tombs, etc.
Lunchtime!

And then, after lunchtime
After we visited the church, we walked around the Three Royal Mounds of Aun's Mound, Adils's Mound and Egil's Mound.

Gamla Uppsala is the heart of the Viking Age, and I love visiting this old town. We used to walk on the mounds (which I was surprised how come we were allowed to walk on the Royal Mounds....), but this time when we visited there, they built the fences around the Royal Mounds. Yes! It should be right to preserve the historical site. 😄 I had so much fun walking around the mounds and learning how they built these huge mounds for their leaders. Amazing! I hope to learn more about their history so that I can get to know the Swedish people more and more.
