Kiruna Travel Guide
Sweden
Kiruna is a small city in far northern Sweden, with a population of 17,037. Its location brings long, cold winters, cool summers and marked seasonal changes in daylight.
Most travellers arrive by air at Kiruna Airport, the city’s listed airport. Kiruna is inland and there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so trips here are better suited to northern landscapes and seasonal experiences than coastline visits.
