SEE DO EAT STAY TRIP SHOP Home About us Contact About Skellefteå part of Swedish Lapland Skellefteå is located as a southern outpost in Swedish Lapland and right next to the Gulf of Bothnia coast. Barely 200 km south of the Arctic Circle and just over 80 north of Stockholm. Or 55 minutes from the capital, if you like. By plane. Here the seasons are clear and the contrasts spectacular. It means cold and dark but also warm and bright summer nights. And not least the city and the wilderness. The visitor perspective To the surface, Skellefteå is 7,217 km2 and a total of around 71,000 people live here - that is, 10 people / km2. That's what the statistics say. In reality, of course, people are not evenly distributed across the landscape. In reality, people concentrate on the cities and leave the countryside for other things. From a visitor's perspective, it's actually not that stupid. That means 2.2 inhabitants / square kilometer in Skellefteå's countryside and that in turn means space. Plenty of space. The forest, the lakes and streams; the cliffs, bogs and expanses together create a dynamic and completely unique arena for different experiences. But nature is not everything. Of course, there is also a city just around the corner. A modern city in a small format. Here you will find most of what you can expect from good community service, good communications and a prosperous restaurant and cultural life. Ambitions Skellefteå also stands out as a progressive city with ambitions for the future. This is evident, among other things, in the fact that we extract biogas from household waste, are leaders in new, sustainable ways of building in wood, while at the same time housing a cluster of world-class creative media companies. Communications But no matter how interesting a place seems, the opportunities to get there are of course crucial. Via Skellefteå Airport you get directly to Swedish Lapland with departures from Stockholm, Girona / Barcelona in Spain and London in England. And of course there is the night train and the long-distance buses. So regardless of whether Skellefteå is an intermediate destination or final destination, whether you are from Norrbotten who want to go out into the world or southern Europe who wants to enter, Skellefteå is the natural gateway to the world, to Swedish Lapland and to the experiences.
