Exploring the city once you're here
Bike throughout the city
Luleå is a city made for those who love to bike! Go from the northern habor to the southern habor along a well-maintained bike path that cuts through the heart of the city, winds through a gorgeous forest located on a peninsula, and marvel at the archipelago along your way. You can bike throughout the year, in all four seasons (even in winter!), so start exploring today!
A city made for walking
Luleå is a pedestrian friendly city, with its main thoroughfare completely cutoff to traffic. Walking is safe throughout the city, and shops and cafes are never far away in this 15-minute city! Once you arrive, you can easily explore most of what Luleå has to offer without ever getting in a car.
Travel by boat or literally walk on water!
During the summer months, boats depart from the harbor in the city center to six different islands in Luleå's archipelago. Or rent a boat or kayak, and explore as much of the archipelago as your heart desires.
In the winter, as the water freezes solid, you can literally walk on water and see the city's skyline from the middle of the Gulf of Bothnia. Luleå prides itself on its world famous winter “ice road,” which is maintained throughout the winter months, and is a great (and truly unique!) way to get around. Whether you walk, ice skate, or ski, Luleå's ice road is something you have to experience!
A bus to neighboring cities
The city buses, LLT, take you almost everywhere within the Luleå area. These buses offer a wide range of affordable bus tickets for visitors and residents. Neighboring cities can be reached by the LTN buses.
