Kiruna is the northernmost city in Sweden. Tourists come to visit it for several reasons. The first is Kebnekaise - the highest peak in the country, 2096 m above sea level. The second is the opportunity to admire the northern lights . Due to its location, Kiruna and the nearby Abisko offer one of the best conditions in this part of the world to observe and photograph it. Here, too, you can drop by to experience the midnight sun , which is sunlight 24 hours a day.

Kiruna is also a dream destination for all fans of active tourism . Thousands of lakes, mountain landscapes, lots of attractive and scenic routes. And the icing on the cake is the opportunity to stay at the extraordinary Ice Hotel , which has been operating since 1989 in the nearby town of Jukkasjärvi.

Who is Kiruna for?

Kiruna is one of the most beautiful places you will see in Sweden. It is a natural and trekking paradise. It is also an ideal proposition for photographers who want to capture the northern lights in their photos. In the area, it is worth seeing the national parks: Sarek , Abisko , Jokkmokk and the Lappish village of Arvidsjaur .

Camp Ripan

Camp Ripan is a great choice for a short stay in Kiruna. The breakfasts were delicious and varied. In addition, the staff was nice and helpful, so that's a plus. We enjoyed the peace and beautiful surroundings. The pool was probably the best place in this hotel.

Best Western Hotel Arctic Eden

We chose Best Western Hotel Arctic Eden because of its gym, swimming pool and sauna. There was also a pub and restaurant available. Everything was close, and delicious breakfasts were served in the morning. Coffee and tea were available in the room. We also had a parking lot at our disposal.

SPiS Hotel & Hostel

SPiS Hotel & Hostel is worth recommending. The breakfast was amazing, the kitchen was great and the wifi also worked well. In addition, the staff was very nice, so we would come back here without hesitation. The price is very favorable. And a plus is that there is a bus stop nearby. We were also lucky with the room. Some of them had no windows.

Hotel Bishops Arms Kiruna

Clean rooms, easy access, free parking across the street. The reception was closed during check-out and we couldn't find any staff anywhere. No place to leave keys and/or unclear return location. This was definitely a minus of this place. Apart from that everything's ok.
Aurora Dome

Aurora Dome

I think it's worth spending the night in a spherical tent at least once in your life. At night you can look at the stars and the northern lights. We weren't so lucky. The dome was small but very cozy. The problem was the outdoor toilet, which was just a simple wooden cabin with no working lights or heating. It's also a pity that the time for the sauna was limited. Half an hour is definitely not enough. For this kind of money we expected something more.
