Christmas at Uplands Nation

Jul på Uplands

Every Christmas Uplands Nation arranges a free traditional Swedish julbord (Christmas buffet). It began as a dinner for students who were unable to get home for the holidays, but today it attracts all kinds of people. Nation card is not required — everyone is welcome. The event is alcohol- and drug-free and done on a completely volunteer basis, with the food being donated by local shops and restaurants. If you're lucky you might even get a gift from Santa!

Uppsala's main concert hall was inaugurated in 2007. By then discussions of building a concert hall had been going on for a hundred years! Since then the building and its modernist design has kept on creating controversy. The concert hall has a varied calendar which includes orchestras, dance performances, modern music as well as conferences and seminars. From the top floor you get a great panoramic view of Uppsala.
