Fyrisbiografen

Fyrisbiografen is the oldest cinema in Uppsala, having opened in 1911. It functions as an art-house theater that focuses on European cinema rather than mainstream blockbusters. Travelers visit this venue to watch a curated selection of international films or independent films and to attend specialized events such as director talks and film festivals.

Getting There

The cinema is located in the heart of Uppsala. From the city center, it is accessible via a short walk of a few minutes, as it is situated within the central pedestrian and commercial district.

Time Requirement

The amount of time to spend here depends on the screening schedule. Visitors should allow approximately two to three hours for a standard film, plus additional time if attending a scheduled talk or festival event.

When to Visit

Screenings typically take place in the evenings. Because it is a specialized cinema, it does not experience the same crowds as major multiplexes, though specific festival screenings or high-profile director visits may see higher attendance.

Nearby Attractions

Due to its central location, the cinema can be combined with visits to several nearby landmarks:

  • University Park (0.1km)
  • Archbishop's Palace of Uppsala (0.2km)
  • Fjärdingen (0.2km)
  • Uppsala Cathedral (0.2km)
