Kiruna Travel Information

As Sweden is within the Schengen Area, UAE nationals traveling to the country can do so visa free for up to 90 days. As Kiruna is located deep in the north of the country, you can expect some of Sweden’s coldest weather with freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall over the winter, while during the summer things warm up somewhat with average highs of around 19 degrees in July. Don’t forget that Sweden has not adopted the euro as its currency, so remember to change up your money to the Swedish krona instead.
