A Taste of Valhalla
By Linda Tancs
In Norse mythology, Valhalla is the great hall where heroes slain in battle are received. You’ll get a taste of it in Uppsala, Sweden, a place rife with Viking history. In particular, at Gamla Uppsala you’ll encounter the royal burial mounds of ancient kings, which you can freely explore. Nearby is Sweden’s first cathedral, built in the 12th century over a pagan temple. Gamla Uppsala is a 30-minute bus ride from Uppsala central station.
