A nice tour to gain an understanding of Kiruna as a city - A nice tour to gain an understanding of Kiruna as a city. And this is perhaps Europe’s last wildernesses and we were inspired by its location far up north. We had a great time during this tour.

From landmarks to off-the-beaten-path gems, this tour has it all - This tour is a memorable tour for me. I saw scenic landscapes of winter wonderland Kiruna. I also saw the the city's old church Kiruna Kyrka and was surprised to know from the tour guide that this church is the largest wooden building in Sweden. From landmarks to off-the-beaten-path gems, this tour has it all.
