Kiruna's attractions divide sharply by season. In winter the long polar nights make it one of the best places on Earth to see the Northern Lights, and the snow-covered wilderness opens up to dog sledding, snowmobile safaris, and ice hotel stays. In summer, the midnight sun draws hikers and anglers to a landscape of tundra, rivers, and high peaks. Year-round, the extraordinary story of a city moving itself three kilometres gives the place a singular energy that few destinations anywhere can match.
