Uppsala is Sweden's fourth largest city with a population of 200,000 inhabitants. Unique cultural treasures and an exciting history are to be found in the city of knowledge and inspiration. Uppsala has retained its small-town charm while offering a big city’s selection of shops, restaurants and other entertainment.
However, Uppsala is not only known for its traditions. Today Uppsala is a dynamic industrial and commercial city where knowledge, ideas and entrepreneurship are at the center. The city’s geographical location with only 30 minutes to Stockholm-Arlanda international airport and 40 minutes to Stockholm has made Uppsala an attractive place for meetings.
Allt ljus på Uppsala (All lights on Uppsala)
16.00-22.00 daily
The city centre will be transformed into a landscape of living light art. Magical works will illuminate streets, squares, and facades – inviting you to experience the city in a whole new way. Allt ljus på Uppsala is a celebration of creativity, community, and reflection, where artists from around the world reveal Uppsala through fresh eyes.
The theme for 2025 is “The Promise of Change” – an exploration of the power and possibilities of transformation. Through light, sound, and storytelling, emotions, thoughts, and conversations are sparked about our role in the journey towards sustainability. Bring someone you care about – or wander on your own. Explore, experience, and help shape a brighter future.
