Luleå

Luleå lies at the mouth of the Lule River on the Gulf of Bothnia, where a low-lying archipelago of islands and skerries reaches into the northern Baltic. As the administrative centre of Norrbotten County, it combines a compact waterfront centre with close ties to the surrounding coast. Nearby Gammelstad Church Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, where red wooden cottages grew around the late-medieval Nederluleå Church to shelter parishioners travelling from distant parts of the parish. Sea ice and winter light shape the city’s northern rhythm, while summer brings long days to the waterfront. See how Luleå fits within Norrbotten’s coast by browsing webcams nearby.
