Luleå is a vibrant city set between lakes, fjords and inlets on the northern shores of the Gulf of Bothnia. Granted a royal charter by King Gustav II Adolf in 1621, Luleå grew from a town of several hundred in the early 1800s to become one of the most important cities in Swedish Lapland. Today, it’s a popular year-round destination home to impressive churches, a superb culinary scene and both water and winter sports, among other attractions. The century-old neo-Gothic Luleå Cathedral dominates the skyline of the busy city centre. Browse the antique stores, boutiques and flea markets that line the streets alongside restaurants that feature in Sweden’s White Guide. Culinary options range from Asian and French to Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and local Swedish gastronomy. See works by local artists at Kulturens Hus Art Gallery and Sami art at Norrbottens Museum in Hermelin Park. Along the northwest edge of the city centre follow the pathway which cuts through parks and woodland. Crowds gather at Gültzauudden Beach in summertime to swim and enjoy open-air concerts. In winter, strap on a pair of ice skates and glide across the Isbanan. This natural ice rink can stretch for up to 6.2 miles (10 kilometres) and features picnic areas. Take a short bus ride to Gammelstad, the city centre until 1649. Here you’ll find Gammelstad Church Town, a group of wooden pilgrim houses scattered around the 15th-century Nederluleå Church. This UNESCO site is one of the best preserved church towns in northern Scandinavia. Some 1,312 islands make up the Luleå Archipelago. Boat tours depart from Luleå’s southern marina in summer and autumn. The adventurous can even reach some islands via rented canoes or kayaks. Learn about the archipelago’s history at the museum on Junkön, visit fishing and farming settlements on Hindersön and spot birdlife on the beaches of Småskär. Luleå is a scenic 12-hour train and bus journey from Stockholm. Come in winter for snow sports or in summer to see the midnight sun bathe the city in 24-hour light. ### Where to stay in Luleå ![Gammelstad Church](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/183000/183570-Gammelstad-Church.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=350&h=192&q=medium) ### Gammelstad Travellers enjoy Gammelstad for its museums and monuments.
