About Fjardingen
Where to stay in Fjardingen
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Fjardingen makes a practical base. Sitting in south-western Uppsala, the district puts you within walking reach of the city centre, so a room here serves visitors who want the core of Uppsala kommun close at hand rather than a quieter outer quarter. You stay central.
It suits anyone choosing Uppsala over the further-out districts like Flogsta, with the streets of Uppsala County a short walk away.
About Fjardingen
What are the main landmarks in Fjardingen?
The pull here is the centre itself. Fjardingen carries no monument of its own; its appeal is position, the short walk from south-western Uppsala into the heart of the city. From the district you reach the inner streets quickly, and the rest of Uppsala kommun fans out from there.
Neighbouring Falhagen and Flogsta sit a little further from the core, which leaves Fjardingen with the closer reach.
What is the history of Fjardingen?
Fjardingen grew as the city grew. The name belongs to one of the old quarters into which Uppsala was once divided, and the district kept that identity as the built-up streets of eastern Sweden spread south-west from the medieval core. It settled into Uppsala kommun.
Over time the surrounding ground filled with the housing of newer districts such as Falhagen, leaving Fjardingen as the older inner quarter nearest the centre of Uppsala County.
Where is Fjardingen?
Fjardingen sits in south-western Uppsala, a close-in quarter of the city in eastern Sweden. It borders the districts that ring the centre. Falhagen lies to its east and Flogsta out beyond the western edge, while Fjardingen itself stays among the inner streets of Uppsala kommun, in Uppsala County.
