Upplands Museum is a cultural and historic county museum that provides knowledge, experiences and inspiration about Uppland. Situated on an islet of Fyrisån River near the centre of Uppsala, the museum is housed in the old Academy Mill from the 1760s. The museum began its collections in 1909. Come and visit the different exhibitions, both permanent and temporary, spanning four floors.

At the northeastern tip of Öland, by the gate to Trollskogen (Troll Forest) nature reserve, you'll find Trollskogen nature centre. Many of the forest's trees are ancient, aged between 100–200 years. Crooked pine trees, sculpted by the winds from the sea, contort in imaginative forms. Here, you'll also find spruce and venerable oaks.

Himmelsberga is Öland's most authentic village, now preserved as an open air museum with enclosed farms built along both sides of the narrow village road. The heart of the museum consists of several large farms with buildings dating back the 18th and 19th century. The cottage is still has the original furniture, and the old stables are packed with all the tools and equipment that were used on the farms. The coffee shop sells freshly baked bread and hot pies, and you can buy genuine Öland handicrafts in the village shop. Himmelsberga holds exhibitions of arts and crafts in its two galleries. There's also an art museum with a collection of older and modern Öland paintings.

The coast has also some best-kept secrets, like the typical Catalan village of Saint-André.
