Sweden’s Midnight Sun offers unique opportunities to experience 24 hours of daylight in the far north. The Midnight Sun viewpoints allow visitors to witness the phenomenon where the sun does not set, making it perfect for late-night adventures, photography, and exploration.

What to See & Do

  • ☀️ Experience 24 hours of daylight 🕰️ under the magical Midnight Sun 🌅
  • 📸 Photograph the sun 📷 hovering above the horizon for hours of “golden light” ✨
  • 🥾 Hike or explore the landscapes 🏔️ at any hour—time becomes irrelevant 👣
  • 🚠 Take a late-night chairlift 🚠 to the Aurora Sky Station for a summit view 🏔️
  • 🦌 Watch for Arctic wildlife 🐾 active in the perpetual summer light 🦌

How to Get There

  • 🚆 From Kiruna: About 1 hour 15 minutes 🚄 by train directly to Abisko Turiststation 🏁
  • 🚗 By Car: Drive 100km North from Kiruna 🛣️ via the E10 highway (approx. 1h 10m) 🚘
  • 👟 On Foot: Accessible from Abisko village 🏘️ via local trails and viewpoints 📍

Travel Tips

  • 🧴 Bring sunscreen 🧴 even at “midnight,” as the sun’s UV rays remain constant ☀️
  • 🧥 Dress in layers 🧣 as temperatures can drop quickly when the sun is low 🌬️
  • 🦟 Pack mosquito repellent 🦟 and a head net, as they are very active in summer 🌲
  • 🕶️ Use an eye mask 😴 for sleeping, as the 24-hour light can disrupt your rhythm 💤
