Kiruna is a beautiful place with extraordinary winterscapes during the day and even more so on a moonlight night.. The cherry in the top was the extraordinary experience of being blessed by aurora corona and aurora borealis sighting every night we were there ..
More over the museum explaining sami culture and giving us sn opportunity to be amongst reindeer was so soulful.. the extraordinary sculptures of ice and snow at the ice hotel , their classic warming drink in ice glasses was something else .. needless to say , it is a ‘must experience ‘ place.

Walking through the woods outside the town was the best thing for us - especially seeing the first sunrise of the year! Not a lot to see in Kiruna itself, but the Ice Hotel and the Sami museum at Jukkasjarvi are a short bus ride away. We would have liked to have visited Kiruna Church, but it's being moved! It was at Kiruna where we got our best view of the Northern Lights. We enjoyed burgers at the Empes place in Kiruna, but mostly cooked for ourselves as we had our own kitchen. There is a ski slope but it looks very limited.

Kiruna is a weird town that is in the midst of being moved due to the mine expanding. It is very difficult to get around without a car, there are buses but taxis are extortionately priced & buses don’t go everywhere!
There’s a lovely little ski field but we had to walk there as no public transport to get to it, it’s bizarre that it’s not promoted more for tourists.
We had the best time dog sledding with Arctic Dog Sled and the food at Spill Saluhall & Eatery was delicious.

Staff a front desk could be a little friendlier, shower curtain a little longer. Orientation to first time visitors could be more comprehensive as we did not even told that there was a gym (only a spa).

They are moving the city so the old city looks like a ghost town. There is almost nothing to do and you don't see people on the street. Lots of accumulated snow and many fenced areas. The new city is not well established. It looks like a construction site and has few restaurant options. I didn't find any souvenir shops open to buy gifts. The center closes at 3pm and there is nothing to do in the city. I recommend taking trips outside the city, such as sledding, snowmobiling, and not wasting time in the city center until the move is completely completed.
The location was excellent, a short walk across the frozen lake from the ice hotel with our luggage to reception where the young lady advised us about accommodation, local walks etc. The chalets were compact but had everything you needed. Very comfortable beds, wet room was warm, sitting area cozy, microwave and 2 hot rings (no oven facility), the view was spectacular. All in all a beautiful location with a chalet that met all our needs.
Nicest little farm to stay in Kiruna :) We travelled to Sweden with my boyfriend and spent one night in Kiruna. The house was nice, clean and good equipped. Environment was with full of animals which was also super cute :) They have many nice activities that one can attend as well. Recommended!
The museum on Sami culture downstairs is very nice - probably why the tourist office lists the Hotell as over of the top 6 items to see in Kiruna. The manager was very kind - we didn’t know how to get to the train station and as a colleague was free, they drove us! Thank you so much!
Camp hotel located in Kiruna offering individual cabins. Comfortable beds and cozy cabins. Generous breakfast buffet. Incredible spa time. Staff was very warm and helpful. Excellent communication with the reception through the Booking app.
Beautiful cabin located in a remote location meaning you are away from the hotel hoards in Kiruna
Excellent food served in a tiny restaurant
Hottub and Sauna
