Suttungs gränd 6, 753 19 Uppsala, Sweden

Sweden's fourth-largest city, charming Uppsala is a photographer's dream, where pastel-coloured buildings and thick greenery reflect in the meandering River Flyris. Home to the oldest operating university in the Nordic world, this historic city is today a buzzing, creative hub thanks to its burgeoning student population. Although peaceful by day, things come to life after dark when boho-chic cafe-bars and cosmopolitan clubs attract a forward-thinking crowd. Just under an hour from Stockholm, it's an ideal place for those seeking a laid-back weekender with a difference.

Must-sees include the magnificent blush-pink Uppsala Castle, the Gothic Uppsala Cathedral, whose soaring spires pierce the skyline, and the eclectic collection on show at Gustavianum Museum, where you'll find all sorts of preserved oddities from stuffed birds and dried sea creatures to exotic stones and an anatomical theatre.

If you tire of sightseeing, simply stroll along the snaking Flyris River and stop at one of the many cafes for a coffee and a cinnamon bun. Elsewhere in the region, be sure to check out Gamla Uppsala, just six kilometres out of the city, one of Sweden's most impressive burial sites with over 300 mounds dating from the 6th to 12th centuries.
