Kiruna

Trips

Kiruna is the northernmost town in Sweden, situated in the province of Lapland. Founded in 1900, Kiruna is well-known for its iron ore mining and stunning natural beauty. It's a popular destination for tourists seeking to experience the Northern Lights and Midnight Sun. The town is surrounded by wilderness, mountains, and lakes, making it an excellent spot for outdoor activities such as hiking, dog sledding, and ice fishing. Additionally, Kiruna is currently undergoing a significant urban transformation as the entire town is being moved to avoid subsidence caused by mining activities. The Icehotel in nearby Jukkasjärvi, rebuilt every winter from ice blocks taken from the Torne River, is another major draw for visitors.
