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.
