train
and
bus stations
are adjacent to each other, not far from the
tourist office
(Mon-Fri 10am-6pm, Sat 10am-3pm; July also Sun noon-4pm; tel 018/27 48 00,
www.res.till.uppland.nu
), Fyris Torg 8, which hands out an English guide to the town with a map inside. The beautifully sited official HI
hostel
is 6km south at SunnerstavA¤gen 24 (tel 018/32 42 20; A?5-10/$8-16; open all year) - take bus #20, #25 or #50 from Dragarbrunnsgatan, two blocks west of the train station.
A central
hotel
is
Basic
, Kungsgatan 27 (tel 018/480 50 00,
www.basichotel.com
; A?25-30/$40-48), with simple, bright and clean rooms and weekend reductions. For
camping
,
Sunnersta Camping
(tel 018/27 60 84) is at a site 7km out by Lake MA¤laren at Graneberg, which also has two- to four-berth cabins for 250-400kr a night; take bus #20, #22 or #50 from the centre. It's difficult to beat
lunch
at
Sten Sture & Co.
, a large wooden house immediately below the castle off Nedre Slottsgatan, with a good range of meat-based dishes during the day and live bands in the evening. The best
cafAŠs
are
Ofvandahls
, Sysslomansgatan 3-5, a student classic, but only fun for smokers, and
GA?ntherska
, A?stra A?gatan 31, another favourite and strictly non-smoking. Also popular is the
CafAŠ Katalin
at A?stra Station, behind the train station, which holds sporadic jazz nights. The best cafAŠ of all, though, is
Wayne's Coffee
, SmedgrA¤nd 4, with vast windows looking out onto the street. There's a wide range of really good
restaurants
, such as
Svenssons krog/bakficka
, Sysslomansgatan 15, which is the best place for fish dishes and traditional Swedish fare, and there are also cheaper pasta options. During the summer, the most popular option is an outdoor cafAŠ and of these, the first to try is
Svenssons A?kanten
on St. Eriks Torg right by the river.
