Sightseeing

Gammelstad Church Town

Visit the world heritage Gammelstad Kyrkstad and the open-air museum Hägnan. Here you will find a medieval stone church next to hundreds of small red church cottages. Visit the tourist office and watch films from the past, go on a guided tour, visit the church and the open-air museum Hägnan, have a Swedish fika. It is the place where Luleå was once founded and grew, from a small church and trading post to a real city. When Luleå was moved due to the land uplift in the 17th century, the place became known in everyday speech as Gammelstad, which means the old town - a name that still lives on today. UNESCO added Old Town Church City to the World Heritage List in 1996.

Storforsens nature reserve

A day trip to Storforsen Europe's largest unregulated rapids - is a powerful experience. In the nature reserve you can walk around, sit down on a cliff with a picnic basket and there are also barbecue places where you can grill a sausage.
