Uppsala and Sigtuna

Morning mist lifts off Lake Mälaren as the E4 points north; in under 40 minutes, Uppsala’s 118.7‑meter spires rise ahead and St Eric’s crypt recalls royal coronations. A short hop brings you to Gamla Uppsala: three sixth‑century burial mounds tied to the Ynglinga saga, a straight cut of the King’s Ditch, and a landscape shaped by Iron Age power. The arc ends in Sigtuna, founded around 970 on a slim shoreline, where rune stones sit at street corners, church ruins frame the water, and Stora Gatan still follows its 11th‑century line.

Logistics stay effortless: your dedicated driver meets you at your Stockholm hotel and keeps the Mercedes at disposal all day. While you visit the cathedral, browse manuscripts at Carolina Rediviva, and stroll the 15 minutes between the mounds and today’s church, they handle parking and timing. In town, your Stockholm private chauffeur fine‑tunes stops with the weather; later, you’re dropped in Sigtuna for a fika on the quay, with unhurried time for runestones, before returning along the lake’s north shore (about 55 km).
