A SNEAK PEAK

A Sneak Peek into Kiruna

The northernmost city in Sweden is Kiruna, which is in Swedish Lapland above the Arctic Circle.
The long winter night, the midnight summer sun, Saami culture, stunning arctic scenery, space exploration technologies, and having the most extensive iron ore mining in the world are just some of the things that make Kiruna notable.
When you visit Kiruna, you are travelling into the middle of nowhere; therefore, you should have a compelling reason for going because it is so distant from any "normal" city you may be used to.
But if you've always wanted to view the northern lights or trek over the Arctic tundra, Kiruna should be at the top of your list.

SEASONS TO TRAVEL

Best Months to Visit Kiruna

Kiruna is best visited during the summer months of June through August.
The city is bustling with tourists, and the residents enjoy lengthy days because the sun never sets or barely sets briefly before rising again.
Due to the peak season, lodging and travel costs may increase significantly.
Still, the almost ideal weather makes it a delight to engage in outdoor activities and witness the Midnight Sun!
March to May: Locals greet spring and say goodbye to a protracted winter season. The weather in Kiruna begins to change as the month goes on, even though it may still be cold, and the city seems even more stunning with spring blossoms all around!
September through October: As the days grow shorter, hotels start to reduce their rates, and several attractions in the city impose closing hours. Since it is the off-season, fewer tourists may be present.
Winters, from November to March: If you enjoy winter activities and want to be enchanted by nature, winter is a great time to visit Kiruna.
Fewer hours of sunlight and harsh weather deter many people from visiting. In addition to a wonderful Christmas, if you have the will to endure the weather, you will be handsomely rewarded with the Northern Lights, Polar Night, and dog sledging.

High-quality wood is used for the internal structure, which metal supports in the middle.

The deep mines at LKAB

In Kiruna, mining is one of the oldest industries. The biggest underground iron mine in the world is the Loussavaara-Kiirunavaara AB mine.
And the most excellent part is that tourists and guests can access it. At LKAB, safety comes first.
Visitors to the mines will notice the advanced, remote-controlled machinery functioning there as soon as they arrive.
The ore is mined a few kilometres below the Earth's surface, and then it is turned back up.

Ice fishing in Kiruna

Ice fishing is enjoyable and exciting, regardless of your level of fishing experience.
People travel from across Sweden to fish on thick ice or compete in regional fishing tournaments, which is one of the most popular activities here.
This exercise will undoubtedly be exciting and amusing for you. Snowshoeing through the snow to reach a frozen lake where guests can go fishing is the first leg of the journey.
You can get fresh fish served with hot coffee or tea after a long day of walking through the snow, which might be exhausting and leave you quite hungry.
After you've finished fishing, you can go around and snap some photos.
