with this great view over the city our trip and also a really nice and interesting day came to an end and after treating ourselves with some really tasty greek food at the “tzatziki” restaurant we took our train back to stockholm.

to be honest after my trip to uppsala i was quite happy that i chose stockholm over uppsala for my exchange. although it is a nice little town with an old university that has a great reputation, it is probably not the most spectacular place you could imagine. yet if you’re in the area uppsala is definitely worth a daytrip.
