About Lulea

Why Add Lulea to Your Sweden Itinerary

Welcome to Lulea, your next frosty destination. Located in the Lapland region in northern Sweden, the coastal town is full of astonishing nature, numerous sites bustling with people, and active exploring opportunities. It is a must-visit while in Lapland since it is the biggest city in the region, offering a wide array of shops and restaurants as well.

The activities depend on the season, however, there is always something special to see and do during Lulea travel. Try walking on water on the frozen Lule River or Bay of Bothnia during winter. The ice is thick and strong enough to become the site for numerous winter activities, such as skating, snowshoe walking, ice fishing, and even biking! However, the latter requires a special kind of bike, and if you want to enjoy even more special transportation, don't miss the chance to try dog sledding while in the area in winter.

Summertime offers a different kind of fun pursuits in Lulea, such as kayaking, rafting, and hiking. A Lulea itinerary can take you through some of the most picturesque areas, some of which can be admired while hiking amid breathtaking surroundings in places like Hertsotrask or Balingeberget. There are nearly 200 species of plants in the Balingeberget Nature Reserve and numerous rubble fields, caves, and trails to walk along while exploring the site, a must for every nature lover.
