Luleå

Like ying and yang, you will experience Luleå as the place of contrast where perspective is somewhat put on edge. We are convinced that if you haven´t previously visited Luleå you will be surprised by the international feeling, at the same time be fascinated by the proximity of the magnificent wilderness. If you have visited Luleå before you know that the city pulsates with life and entices with big-city-like experiences. However, you would also know that here there are possibilities for reflection and enjoyable tranquillity.

Luleå is the town that King Bore clothes in white during the winter and that bathes in sunshine and is caressed by warm winds during the summer. The fact that the Swedish winters are cold with lots of snow may not be surprising, but that the summers are so light and sunny, so that few places in Sweden can compare with Luleå, may come as somewhat of a surprise.

As Luleå is situated along the upper East Coast of Sweden there are long stretches of beaches throughout the region. During the winter it is possible to reach the archipelago on skis, snow scooter or by car via several miles of ice-roads. For the inhabitants, these pleasures are taken for granted. However, for Luleå’s visitors, this must certainly seem unexpected and unusual.
