Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

One of the best time to visit Kiruna is in the summer. The city is packed with visitors and locals enjoy long days as the sun never sets (or it does only for a few hours, only to come up soon after). However, this is peak season, so the prices on accommodation and flights are rather high. If you winter is more your thing and don't mind the cold, another good time to visit this city is from November to March. This time of the year you can enjoy skiing and snowboarding and, if you are brave enough to endure potentially hazardous weather, you can also experience the incredible northern lights.
