Things to do in Uppsala: events and what's on

1. Uppsala Konsert & Kongress

Start with Uppsala Konsert & Kongress if you would like a concert to give your evening a focus. Browse the programme together with a friend, or pick something you would enjoy on your own and make meeting someone a bonus.

Good to know

• Use the official programmes-and-tickets page to choose a performance and check availability.
• Check the official site for current prices, start times and any event-specific admission conditions before booking.

2. Uppsala Stadsteater

Make a theatre visit your reason to get out for the evening. Uppsala Stadsteater presents modern and classical drama as well as work for younger audiences, so you can choose a production that suits your interests rather than simply the next available date.

Good to know

• Most plays are in Swedish; confirm the language and any accessibility support for your chosen production.
• The theatre is at Kungsgatan 53. Check the official programme for tickets and current prices; the Theatre Bar offers food and drinks before and after shows.

3. Reginateatern

Look at Reginateatern when a more intimate performance appeals to you. The venue brings local culture together with guest productions, with spoken word, poetry and improvisation among the reasons to explore its programme.

Good to know

• Find it at Trädgårdsgatan 6.
• Check each production’s language, dates and booking details rather than assuming the whole programme is suitable for English speakers. Check the official site for current prices.

4. Uppsala Art Museum

Head to the castle for art that can turn into a shared conversation rather than a formal night out. Alongside permanent and temporary exhibitions, the museum hosts concerts, dance, live art and poetry readings, giving you several ways into its programme.

Good to know

• General museum admission is free; confirm booking requirements and any separate conditions for your chosen event.
• The museum is in Uppsala Castle, entrance 1E. Check the current calendar for Art Nights, guided tours and family activities before making plans.

5. Bror Hjorths Hus

For a quieter cultural plan, visit the house and studio where Bror Hjorth lived and worked. Paintings, sculptures, reliefs and drawings sit alongside an exhibition wing, giving you plenty to look at and talk about without planning your evening around a show.

Good to know

• Find it at Norbyvägen 26, next to the Botanical Garden.
• Check the museum’s current exhibitions, educational programme and visitor hours before going. For admission or activity prices, check the official site.

6. The Botanical Garden

Use the Botanical Garden as a slower alternative when you would rather spend time outdoors together. The baroque garden, orangery and Tropical Greenhouse offer different things to explore, so you can choose a simple walk or look more closely at the plants.

Good to know

• The garden welcomes visitors year-round, but check separate opening and admission arrangements for the greenhouse and orangery.
• Café Victoria is seasonal; check its current opening before relying on a café stop. For any paid visits or activities, check the official site for current prices.

Quick tips

• Destination Uppsala’s English event listings focus on events suitable for English speakers; its Swedish listings offer more options.
• Before inviting someone, confirm the event language, ticket availability, meeting point and finish time with the organiser.
• Choose a specific exhibition or performance and suggest a clear meeting time; it makes a shared plan easier to agree on.
