Sweden)
or Kiruna accommodation? Kiruna is the northernmost city of Sweden and as it is situated a mere 145km from the Arctic Circle it has a Sub-Arctic climate with short cool summers and long cold winters. The city itself is rather warmer than its forested surroundings, though. Between May 30th and July 15th the sun doesn’t set at all and polar night, when the sun doesn’t rise, lasts from early December to early January. Perpetual daylight lasts from early May to early August. These phenomena alone attract tourists from all over but it is also the natural beauty and a lot of outdoor activities that plays a part in the tourism industry of Kiruna.
It is a mountainous area with lakes and rivers nearby so summer activities include hiking, kayaking, river rafting, fishing, hunting, golf and visits to the waterpark. Evey year during summer the Kiruna Festival is organised which is a musical affair in the midnight sun. In winter there are Nordic Light tours, snow mobile excursions, ice-fishing, dog sledding, cross-country and downhill skiing and visits to the Icehotel which is a temporary hotel entirely made of snow and ice and is reconstructed every year. Every year in winter, the Snow Festival is held and it includes scooter jumping, reindeer racing, an ice sculpture contest, and more. All year round there are tours into the old iron mines, wilderness safaris, swimming and bowling.
If you have an interest in space, visiting Estrange is a must. It is a civilian space base open to the publick mostly in summers but in wintertime on request. If you have, say, $8000 lying around a company called Xero AB that offer zero-gravity flight to the public if booked well in advance and is what they use to train astronauts.
As far as accommodation goes there are plenty of options. There are campsites, sites for motor homes, cabins, youth and family hostels, guesthouses and hotels (even the Icehotel). All the hotels are national so you’re not going to find a Hilton here. - Browse the Kiruna Map or compare Kiruna accommodation from Hotels, Motels, B&Bs,
