Sigtuna 
Description
Established around 980 as a harbour town on the shore of Lake Mälaren, at one point this was one of the most important cities in Sweden. Over time it's fortunes waned and by the early 20th century had a population of around 600. Because of it's earlier importance it is home to a number of former churches, that have become ruins and a significant number of Viking era Rune stones. In the last 50 years the area has become more important as it is only a few miles from Arlanda airport which as the main international airport for Scandinavia has seen a number of the local settlements expand significantly to become dormitory towns

Getting There
From Uppsala you need to take the Pendeltåg one stop south to Knivsta (every 30 minutes, about 8 minutes) and change there onto the 183 bus to Sigtuna (every hour - only every 2-3 hours at weekends; about 25 minutes). Alternatively you can take the regional train (hourly, about 15 minutes) to Märsta station and change there onto the 570/575 bus (every 30 minutes, about 25 minutes). The second option requires separate tickets to be purchased for each leg, where as the train/183 bus option can be done with a single UL ticket.Latitude: 59.616851; Longitude: 17.721546
