On the shore of Lake Mälaren, in the Uppland, about a 30-minute drive from Uppsala, the quaint village of Sigtuna provides a picture-postcard look at a typical Swedish village.
Sigtuna is Sweden's oldest surviving town, and you can see rune stones and the remains of ancient churches around town. Popular things to do here include browsing the boutiques and craft shops at Stora Gatan, strolling along the Sigtuna Boardwalk, and exploring old Viking sites and the ruins of St. Olaf's Church.
