Overview

Book a trip to the different Uppsala, go on a trip about the dark part of Swedish history. Hear about the 17th century slave trade, about Uppsala's gallows hill, experience what was going on inside the racial biology institute and hear about the anatomical department's rules for which crimes could end up under the knife.

We visit the streets where the brothels and Uppsala's Red light district were located during the 19th century. Experience the dark history that is not often talked about or visited. Visit the forgotten historical, and hear about the poor, spooky and different that is often swept under the rug.
