Getting to Kiruna
Kiruna Airport (KRN) is a short drive from town, with flights from Stockholm. Many travellers take the night train from Stockholm instead, sleeping their way north across the Arctic Circle.
Data tip: turn on AloOui as you land and confirm your hotel or tour pickup. Cold drains batteries fast, so keep your phone in an inside pocket.
Northern Lights and Abisko
From around September to March, Kiruna is one of Europe's best places to see the aurora borealis. Abisko National Park, about an hour and a half away, is famous for clear skies and the Aurora Sky Station.
Data tip: aurora forecast apps and cloud maps tell you where to go each night. Save your tour details offline, as remote viewing spots can have weak signal.
The Icehotel
In the village of Jukkasjärvi, around 20 minutes from Kiruna, the Icehotel is rebuilt from river ice every winter, with art suites carved by artists from around the world. Icehotel 365 keeps frozen suites open all year.
Data tip: book a night or a day visit online in advance, as winter dates fill up quickly.
Where you'll use your data around Kiruna
- Dog sledding: husky tours through the snowy forests
- Sámi culture: reindeer experiences and Sámi-led tours
- Kebnekaise: Sweden's highest mountain, for summer hikes
- The new city centre: built as the town moves away from the iron-ore mine
Midnight sun and polar night
From late May to mid-July the sun never sets over Kiruna, perfect for hiking and fishing. In mid-winter the sun barely rises, and the blue light lasts for hours. Heading south? See our Stockholm and Uppsala guides.
