Driving in Kiruna
Exploring Kiruna and its surroundings by car is the best way to discover the wild beauty of Swedish Lapland. Before hitting the road, remember that you are far from other major cities and you might encounter wild creatures like moose or reindeer! Even if this encounter may seem wonderful, keep in mind that they pose a serious danger to motorists in Sweden, especially in winter! Also, be cautious of heavy snowfall and strong winds. By adopting careful driving, driving slowly, and leaving a sufficient braking distance, you will be able to handle the unexpected! And don't forget to turn on your headlights, even during the day.
