Sweden đ The Worldâs One-and-Only Ice Hotel âď¸
Kiruna is a small city with just 20,000 residentsâitâs famous because itâs home to the worldâs unique Ice Hotel! Beyond the ice bar and ice church, you can book themed ice rooms to stay in. Every piece of furniture in these rooms is carved from ice. The price is pretty steepâI almost booked one, but luckily âpoverty saved usâ đ. Itâs incredibly cold; staying a night would definitely leave you freezing (even worrying about body chills!). So we opted for a warm log cabin instead. The sun starts setting around 2 PM here, painting the sky in a stunning pink-blue hue. In the distance, sled dogs dash across the frozen lake⌠đś We planned to head to the ice bar after dinner for a special cocktail, but it closes at 6 PM sharp. And the Northern Lights? They still hadnât shown up by then⌠đ 200-Word Guide (English Version) đ Getting There: Fly from Stockholm to Kiruna (1 hour) or take a train. From Kiruna Airport, take an Uber/taxi (20 mins) or the hotelâs shuttle bus to Ice Hotel. Stay Smart: Ice suites (âš15k+/night) are iconic but -4°C; warm log cabins (âš5kâ8k/night) balance comfort and Arctic vibesâbetter for cold-sensitive travelers. Key Timings: Sunset around 2 PM, full darkness by 3â4 PM. Ice bar closes at 6 PM, so plan drinks early. Aurora chances peak 9 PMâmidnight (check aurora apps for alerts). Pro Tip: Rent warm gear (parkas, boots) at the hotel if you forget. Donât miss daytime dog sledding near the frozen lake for classic Arctic fun! #NorthernEurope #SwedenTravel #HotelRecommendation #IceHotel #KirunaSwedenIceHotelCheckIn
