Uppsala Mosque

Uppsala Mosque

Located in the Kapellgärdet area, this site serves as a place of worship for the local Muslim community. It is recognized as the northernmost mosque in Sweden. Travelers visit this location to observe its architecture and understand the religious diversity within the city hosts.

Getting There

The mosque is situated a short distance from the city center. Depending on your starting point, it is accessible via a 15 to 20-minute walk or a brief trip by local bus. The route is straightforward and follows the residential streets of the Kapellgärdet district.

Duration of Visit

Because the building is small and primarily functions as an active place of prayer, most visitors spend between 30 and 60 minutes here. This allows enough time to view the exterior and, if permitted, the interior spaces.

When to Visit

Visitors should be mindful of daily prayer times, as the site becomes crowded during these periods. To avoid disrupting worshippers, it is advisable to visit between scheduled prayer sessions. The site is accessible year-round, though winter visits require appropriate clothing for the Swedish climate.

  • Löten Church (0.7km)
