Walk over the frozen sea and view Lulea from the seaside. Great experience and one of the highlights in Lulea in winter.

Gammelstad Church Town

Of Sweden's 71 original church towns, only 16 are left today. The majority of these have been reduced to a remnant. Gammelstad has the country's largest and best preserved church town with 408 cottages comprising 553 rooms. The church town presumably arose from a combination of several factors: the long distances, merchants' needs for storage and accommodation at the marketplace, the church stables and last but not least the population's duty to attend church regularly. Gammelstad Church Town was put on the UNESCO World Heritage List on 7 December, 1996. Visit Gammelstad Visitor Center for more information. Visitor Center offers information, exhibition, slideshow room, souvenirshop, audioguides and guided tours of Gammelstad Church Town.

LKAB's Visitor Centre

Come along to the world’s largest underground iron-ore mine. We go by bus directly from the Tourist Center into the mountain and down to the show mine LKAB’s Visitor Centre at level 540 metres. Here in Kiruna much revolves around our mine. The guide will talk about modern mining and how it can cause a whole town to be moved. Coffee and cookies will be served in the cafe. A warm welcome!

Finally we got to visit one of the classic Swedish industrial sites, the large mine at Kiruna. The tourist bureau organises tours twice a day that last for close to three hours. You go down to the -500 level where there is a centre. Your guide then tells you all about the mining operations, its history, present plans and the methods used. There is a small museum and lots of heavy equipment. You get coffee and a cookie with your ticket.
