Grab a black coffee and a pastry at Ofvandahls Hovkonditori. This traditional café, founded in 1878, is a staple for students and locals alike. It is open from 07:30 on weekdays, so you will have plenty of time to settle in before the light changes.
16:27
Walk to the Botaniska trädgården. The park gates open at 07:00, and you can wander the Baroque garden and the Orangery grounds. Arrive just before 16:42 to find a quiet spot where the golden light filters through the trees.
17:42
Head to Hodja for dinner. The restaurant opens at 17:00 on weekdays, which is right after sunset. Enjoy Turkish cuisine in the inviting 'Bar room' or the intimate 'Love room'. The main courses range from 170 to 330 kr.
18:42
End the evening with a drink at Bryggeriet Ångkvarn. As Uppsala's only brewpub, it features a fully visible brewery behind the bar. It stays open until midnight on weekdays, giving you time to enjoy a beer while the city winds down.
Local tip
The Botaniska trädgården is free to enter, but the Tropical Greenhouse has a 60 kr fee. If you prefer to keep it free, stick to the outdoor gardens and the Orangery exterior.
