Travel story
Walking between light and air
Crossing between night and day
It was a few days of drifting rather than staying
ー
This itinerary combines aurora observation in Kiruna, northern Sweden, and city walks in Copenhagen, Denmark.
After gazing at natural phenomena in subzero conditions, we spend quiet time in a city with museums and cafes.
We contrast two cities with different atmospheres in a short schedule.
Signature points
Aurora and Snow Scenery in the Arctic City of Kiruna
A curtain of light spreading across the clear night sky and the expanse of a quiet snowfield.
Experience the grandeur of nature along with the transparent air unique to the extreme cold.
The time spent waiting for the aurora itself becomes a deeply memorable experience.
Museums and Design Spaces in Copenhagen
Visiting the Royal Library and the National Gallery, experiencing the Nordic sense of beauty.
Cafes and architecture discovered during city walks quietly leave an impression.
The culture of the city adds depth to the journey through the five senses.
A Quiet Contrast of Nature and City in a Short Time
In just a few days, we visit places wrapped in different atmospheres, from the far north to the capital.
The differences in cold, color, and sound give shape to the journey, creating a rich experience.
Within the limited schedule, a dual aftertaste is etched into the structure.

Welcome to Kiruna!
Nestling some 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, Kiruna is a gem of a city that forms part of Swedish Lapland – an enormous area covering about a quarter of Sweden. Kiruna also has cultural and historical significance as part of Sápmi – the traditional home of the indigenous Sámi people – that extends beyond the national border.
An outdoor enthusiast’s dream destination, Kiruna is surrounded by varied and vast terrain – from deep forests and expansive marshes to lakes, rivers and mountains – including Kebnekaise, Sweden’s highest mountain. These landscapes are ideal for activities such as hiking, fly fishing, skiing, snowshoe walking and dog sledding.
Kiruna is fascinating from an urban perspective. This historic mining community – first established in 1900 – is undergoing a transformation due to the impact that the mining has on the area. For the mining to be able to continue, the physical lifting and shifting of buildings – and the occasional demolishing and erecting of others – is well underway.
Due to the city transformation, Kiruna Church will be moved in one piece in 2025 to a new location between the cemetery and the new city centre. The church will be closed from the summer of 2024 until the opening at the new location at the end of 2026.
Kiruna’s city centre stood ready in its new position on 1 September 2022, and Kiruna City Hall – a completely new building known as “the crystal” – was the first landmark to appear. The rest of the move is due to be completed by 2035.
There’s plenty to discover in this compelling city of transformation and if a roadtrip in Kiruna is on the agenda, you won’t have to venture far before reaching gems such as the Icehotel, Kebnekaise and Abisko – all located within the municipality.

The Longest Northern Lights Tour in Kiruna
We will pick you up from your hotel in Kiruna and start to chase the Northern Lights. Where we go to see the lights will depend on weather conditions, we can drive to Abisko or Kiruna boreal forests, always far from city light pollution. Our experienced guides track the weather all day before the tour to decide where the best place to drive is the night of your tour. We don’t limit ourselves by distance, so we can drive wherever is needed to find clear sky.
The guides specialize in finding clear sky, and if the Kiruna area is cloudy, we will drive however long we need to get the best opportunity of seeing the lights. Kiruna is located in the heart of Swedish Lapland, where our guides will teach you about this natural area, and show you the most important facts to understand this unique region. As we are driving, we will tell you the stories about Lapland and its inhabitants, the Sami people, Abisko and Kiruna, and the science behind the Northern Lights.
Swedish Lapland is full of ancient traditions and culture, Lapland is the land of the Sami people, last indigenous people of Europe who call the area Sápmi. It is also the home of unique animals like reindeer, moose, fox, Arctic hares and Arctic owls. Our guides will give you some tricks to spot them in the nearby natural areas and reserves! Close to Kiruna is Abisko, on the shores of the glacier lake Tornetrask. Abisko is famous for its microclimate and cloud free nights that give us more chances to see aurora. The Kiruna region is one of the largest producers of iron ore in the world since the 19th century.
When we arrive at our viewing destination, we will make a roaring campfire, and enjoy traditional Swedish cookies, chocolates and warm drinks while we admire the Northern Lights.
Our photographers and guides have been guiding in this region and taking pictures of the Aurora for more than 3 years. They will take you to the best locations and help you get the best pictures of the spectacular Northern Lights.
The professional photographer on your trip will take pictures of you and the Aurora in the sky with their professional camera which is optimized for night photography and the Aurora. If you have brought your own camera, they will help you set it up and guide you to get the best shots. The professional photos from your trip will be available 3 days after the tour. We will send them to you at no cost so that you have a beautiful memento and photos to show your friends and family at home.
After we have enjoyed the campfire, watched the Northern Lights dance in the sky, and learned the stories and myths that surround this natural phenomenon, we will head home to Kiruna.
