I highly recommend visiting Wik's castle near Uppsala, a serene place near the lake that feels like an old palace surviving alone in the middle of nowhere. It's a great place to relax and enjoy the summer weather. If you're in Uppsala on a sunny day, be sure to check it out!

We had a lovely walk towards this castle. As it was on a Monday the cafe and restaurant were closed so we didn’t get the full experience we were hoping for but the castle and grounds were nice to walk around nonetheless.

Great spot for a swim.. I haven't been inside yet, so will probably go another time. Easy to get to by bus from Uppsala, there's a bus goes right to the Slott. Nice walks too nearby. Café at least..

We were just here for the day but enjoyed the fantastic surroundings and the lovely restaurant. We ordered mostly appetizers for a light lunch and sat on the wonderful terrace overlooking the water. We liked that they had some very good vegetarian options as well - specifically the mozzarella salad and the fried cheese with parsnip entree. Service was very friendly as well.

Had lunch at the new Trädgårdsbaren (Garden bar), which is just outside the castle building at Wiks slott. The setting is lovely, as expected, the bar food was good and the service was excellent. They also have a good set of Uppsala Brygghus beers on tap. I would have given 5* but rated it as 4* as I thought that, even though the food was very good, the portion size of my toast skagen was economical to say the least. For the 215kr they charge, I've had just as good and 3x the portion size at a restaurant in Uppsala city for this price. Definitely worth checking out, especially during the summer!
