Uppsala is compact and very walkable — the cathedral, the castle, the river promenade and the main pedestrian street are all within a 20-minute walk of each other, so most visitors with a dog never need public transport inside the city. When you do need it, the regional operator UL runs city buses and commuter trains and accepts dogs free of charge; you ride at the rear of the bus or carriage to be considerate of passengers with allergies. The high-speed train to Stockholm (SJ, 38 minutes) requires a dog-allowed seat reservation. Uber and taxi drivers in Uppsala are generally happy to take a dog, but always confirm when you book.
💡 Buy tickets in the UL app or with a contactless card at the bus reader — there is no cash on board.
💡 When booking on sj.se or in the SJ app, tick the box pet allowed seat before checkout. The system will assign a dog-friendly carriage automatically.
💡 If you are arriving at Arlanda airport with a large dog, pre-book a station wagon taxi from Uppsala Taxi or Cabonline rather than risking a refusal from a random Uber driver.
