Luleå
About the City
If you are looking for natural experiences, you are in luck, because the sea and the forests are at your disposal. The question is, how would you like to experience them? And when? Because, as you may know, Luleå is a city that changes with every season. Our location, close to the Gulf of Bothnia, where the sea freezes over for several months every year, means that our archipelago is one giant playground, all year round.
Our 1,312 islands await visitors, and you can reach them throughout the year, regardless of whether you go by boat on the open sea or by snowmobile. If you would like to, you can also take a car out to sea, as we prepare roads on the meter-thick ice in winter. In summer, our islands are awash in sunshine – Luleå is the sunniest city on the mainland and has a steady spot near the top of lists charting Swedish sunshine rankings.
Nothing is ever far away here. We’re talking mere minutes from the city to the wilderness. The diversity of what we have to offer is what makes this place special, and it gives our visitors excellent opportunities to mix adrenaline rushes with total relaxation. This is a buffet. You get to choose what goes on your plate.
